OUR wAILuKU LETTER.

every true Hawaiian and more so
those who are still adhering TO rest
GRAFTON, believing that an achieved
wrong could never prosper, and that
the Supreme Ruler OF the Universe,
in His most omnipotent power, will
make amends and right wrongs, was
drawn closer to the belief that his
hopes, longings and wishes are not
in vain, and his applications to the
Most High are not left unheard.
Twas when our beloved Queen
Liliuokalani was politically i'm
prisoned when certain big kahuna
there on MAUD prophesied four
presidents TO restoration. First,
that the Queen will be released from
her imprisonment. second, that she
will leave us for cold country;
third, that she will return and 90
again and, fourth, that the volcano
will overflow. One by one each has
come TO pass; slow but sure, and the
last, the herald Of restoration was
not long in coming There is no
doubt, and the existing fact OF to-
day is, that there is an eruption.
Is it not possible that after all
these occurrences foretold by a Ha-
waiiaD, who claimed not to be the
mouthpiece Of the Deity but one of
His angels, be true and that restor-
alton is night Are there not any
similar instances in history which
all believe to-day7 Are there not
causes, reasons and grounds to be-
lieve that what came to light in
ages gone by when prophet (who
lie similar to a kahuna in Hawaii nei
today was said to have foretold
the destinies of nations that in an
instance OF the very same nature,
and where the presidents have come
to light, that the truth OF restora-
tion is only mere question OF timer
And will not the jealous Ruler OF
the children Of men uphold right
eousnessl The days that are COM
ing can only reveal, and from
henceforth many will live in antici-
patton.
Deputy Sheriff o. r. Lindsay OF
Hama came over and spent week
consulting with his superior about
his transfer over this side. Bob will
very likely accept the position at
Lahaina, though somewhat reluct-
antly owing to his late land pur-
chases at Nahiku and the sur
rounding country.
Wednesday m rning when the
Claudine boats came in at the wharf
all were surprised to see so many pas
sengers and when it was known that
they were for Hilo, some took the
opportunity aud went along. During
the time spent in waiting many
drove up here and some took just
glimpse OF lao going up only as far
as the first crossing.

A seventy. five foot fagpole stands
conspicuous in the court yard,
piercing cluster of mango trees
and will float the Stars and Stripes
higher than any fagpole on the ISL

OF August next Gas was done last

ing and festivity on new and more
