the newspapers under the heading The
flying man" There my Ire a Flying man
possibly at some future time, il would be- rash
to say that there could neper be such a thing;
but there is certainly no such a thing as yet.
Two OF three months ago the weekly Journal
Mature" gave q detailed account, fully Illus
trated. Of the experiments on which the
flying man sensation is built. The expeii-
ments were made in Germany, and are in
teresting enough, but by no means wonder
full. The eXpeIimrnter has constructed for
himself a kind Of parachute in the form Of
ontstretched wings, and BY jumping from a
tower or a slight natural elevation he manages
to come slowly to the ground at q short dis
lance from where Ire started. That is about
all. He does not call himself a Flying man.,
and il he ever thought that he would earn
that title in a hurry, the conceit must have
been already :"ken out Of him.

A DONATION PARTY.
Mr.. PenrOSe is Given a Luau at
Haalelea Lawn.

The Rev. Mr.. Penrose has made
a large number of friends during
his short stay in Honolulu, espec-
tally among the younger people,
and when he notified his congrega-
ton that he was going away soon,
there was CONSERVATION. At all
places where three or four of his
flock would meet, his departure
was naturally the subject under
discussion.
A few days ago, several young
ladies began discussing the situa-
ton. As Mr.. Penrose is of fun
loving disposition, some one pro-
posed to give him donation party,
such as our grandmothers used to
give their ministers when there was
not enough money to pay his sal
airy and they had to ''stand him
off, for awhile. The idea was ac-
cepted with avidity, and all was
arranged. They parted, but to
scheme what to wear and to give the
pastor. The instructions received
were, not to let anyone know any
thing about it, to wear an old dress
of their mothers, or, if possible,
their grandmother's, and to bring
anything they wished to donate"
Yesterday morning Mr.. Penrose
received a caller. This caller in
sisted on sitting in the parlor, and
made herself very interesting to
him-so interesting that he failed
to notice any preparations.
At the appointed hour, half-past
nine, the door was opened and in
walked the visiting sisters" who,
after being introduced to the some
what puzzled parson, each pre-
sented him with a gift.
These gifts were unique. There
was the minister's delight, the
carpet slippers; Inc PIN cushloh,
family relic; and then the inner
man was appealed to by dough-
nuts, pork and beans, brown bread
and live chicken the browning
JOY was a lei of onions.
Mr.. Penrose was taken greatly
by surprise, by the joke, but he
stood it well. Haalelea Lawn
looked as though it was ready for
a big luau. Everybody was roar
ing with laughter at the puzzled
preachers expression. But it may
have the effect of making him stay
here longer than he intended, if
only to get another donation party.

VIII Recognize Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S.-The
delayed dispatches from Minister
Willis formally announcing the es-
Enlistment of the Hawaiian Repub-
lie, which reached San Francisco
today a week, have finally been re-
ceived at the State Department, and
will be transmitted to Congress in a
few days.
The belief in official circles is that
the Administration will promptly
take the proper and customary steps
to formally recognize the sister
Republic, and the next important
duty of Minister Willis will be to
negotiate treaty of amity and com
MERGE with the new Government.
