almost impossible to walk over
the black lava"

The Hilo Teachers Union held
its quarterly meeting May 20, but
was slimly attended owing to the
prevailing colds about town. Miss
Guild conducted class in paper
folding. Mrs. Terry and Miss
Lyman gave reading on Horace
Mann. Miss Deyo gave an exer-
else in drawing by the Prang
method and Miss Coan dealt with
Mind Culture" In the course of
the last named lesson the teachers
present were asked to write i'm
promptu for few moments on
something they had heard about,
but never seen. There were two
or three journeys to Mokuaweo-
weo a visit toEdinburgh, ,and rather
an amusing and quite realistic
visit was Miss Louisa Browns in
winter to the inside of an Esqui-
mau hut.
A novel entertainment was held
by the Hilo Social Club at the
Richardson - Lyman home, Kai-
nehe, near Cocoanut Island. One
of the most amusing items on the
program was the string trick.
When the party arrived at Kai,
nehe they found the ground and
residence all covered up with
twine. Each one of the party
was given an end piece of twine
and given orders to follow up and
wind that piece. Some of these
led up cocoanut trees and it was
truly merry fun to see young
ladies trying to climb cocoanut
palms and young men trailing the
rafters in quest of the walnut at
the end inside of which was a.
fortune in selections, verse, etc.
