In a Flourishing Condition.

The following report of the
treasurer OF the Kapiolani Maternity
Home shows that this great institu-
ton is in an excellent financial
conditions:
To the President, Officers and
Members Of the Hooulu and
Hoola Lshui Society:
Your Highness, and Ladies:
The past year has in many ways
,been good one for our Home.
The Balance sheet for the year
ending January 81, 1900, shows the
receipts to be- Balance on hand
February l, 1900, $3,OS445; amount
of receipts for the year, $9,434 80;
making grand.total Of $l251S rs
for the past years income.
A great source of increase to this
income has been the sum of $4,000
donated by the Charles r. Bishop
Trust. which is deposited in Bishop
e. Co.'s Bank, until such time as the
Trssetes decide how it shall be used
This payment OF $1,000 ends the
donations of $500 annually from the
G. Il. Bishop Trust.
The hundred dollars per month
from the Estate Of the late Queen
Dowager Kapiolani, has reached the
sum OF $1,000 which is in Bishop a.
Co.'S Savings Bank, drawing only
Az. Your Treasurer would sug-
gest that this amount be in some
way invested, 80 as to draw more
interest-this is matter for the
attention OF the Trustees.
The expenditures for the past year
h We amounted to SIS 1856 % Refer
ring to the Balance Sheet, the ex-
penditures in May, viz; $l,509.O9
may appear large, but it must be
borne in mind that out OF that
amount 81 ,0S2 70 was expended for
repairs and painting the building.
A strenuous effort is being made
to add to our income, by establish
ing a Surgical Department for
women; this has the hearty endorse
ment of the leading physicians Of
the Islands. An earnest appeal
has been made to the public to help
US in this work, which will necessi-
tate an outlay OF a. least $4,000. So
far, unfortun ately, the appeal has
not met with much response.
People are profuse in good wishes
but very backward with donations
| The past year has been recorc
one for births at the Home-ths
total number being 65, the highest
lumber in former years being Sc.
Your Treasurer regrets very mucf
to inform you that Mrs. Maria Mar
tin, the Matron's Assistant has felt
obliged to resign owing to i'll health
She is now very ill in the Queen:
Hospital. Her place is now filed by
Mrs. Annie Aylett Poole, Hawaiian
who gives much promise, and o.
whom we hope much.
Your Treasurer sincerely hopes
the meetings in the future will b.
more fully attended, as with the
increase of work at the Home, there
is increase of work for the Boards
both Managers and Trustees. W
sincerely regret the absence of Thei
aighnesses Prince and Princess Ka
lnnianaole now abroad on
foreign tour.
In conclusion would state. that
the very prosperous condition o
the Home is greatly due to our in
defatigable Matron, who has no
only won the appreciation Of tn,
community, but the love of the Ha
waiians--as we'll as the confidence
of the physicians and foreign pa
tents.
i, Respectfully submitted,
FLORA JONES,
Treasurer Kapiolani Maternit

Combination Diving.

The Swedes delight in coordination
diving" and two men will perform
many clever feats together. One Of the
most grotesque Of these is when one
man stands upright on the sprihgboard
and tightly clasps another mans body
round the waist, holding him head
downward and putting his own head
through the mans legs. When the up
right man springs from the board. he
throws his legs into the air so that the
two men, clasping the other tightly
round the waist, turn a somersault, and
when they reach the water the man
who started upside down arrives feet
foremost.
The handspring dive is very effect
i've speciality of Swedish swimmers.
The performer takes off from the div
ing board with hands instead of feet,
turning his body in order to descend
feet foremost or somersaulting to ar
rive head downward. Very graceful
also is the back dive, in which the
spring Is made backward, the body
turning toward the springboard. Dou-
Bile somersault dives are made from
platforms 80 or so feet high, the diver
making two turns in the air and enter
ing the water feet fOremost.-Peter-
sons Magazine.
