waiians and foreigners alike at La
haina could not be computed in dol

noble deeds. are forever inscribed in
the hearts of grateful and patriotic
Hawaiians of succeeding generations.
Over half century ago. these ISL
aDds were inhabited by nearly 10O,-
900 people. Lahaina, being one of
the important towns in the kingdom,
and, besides. being great whaling
seaport, was more densely populated
than most other towns outside of TIo-
nolulu.
'Lahaina was even more beautiful
than Honolulu in those days, being
richer in tropical vegetation than the
capital. Beautiful trees and flower
ing shrubs with rich green patches of
kalo (avum esculentum) grew almost
to the waters edge" remarked a
great divine of those days. But wav-
ing fields of cane have taken the
place of the natives taro patches and
groves of breadfruit trees, which
once were plentiful and from which
the town received its poetical name
of "Malu ulu Lele," or "Breadfruit
Grove of Lele."
In 1854 Kauikeaouli died; he was
succeeded by Alexander Iolani Liho-
Tho. who died Nov. 80, 1863. He
was the fourth of the Kamehamehas,
the seventh from the great Keawe,
the seventy-sixth from Papa and Wa
kea, and the lOGth from Kane and
Kanaloa," from whom the Hawaiians
trace their origin. Ia was In his
reign that the natives were given
lands in fee simple, but the condi-
lions were 50 simple that the vast
majority of the tillable lands have
since passed into the hands of those
who can till them, while the Hawaii
ans from the other Islands have most
ly ilocked to Honolulu to enjoy what
they believe to be far easier life
a condition of things which the in
telligent class bewail and regret.
Few towns in these Islands can

First Newspaper.
With the establishment of Lahai-

of printing, but It was not until 1884
that the first Hawaiian newspaper
was printed, at Lahainaluna, called
the Lama Hawaii" or Hawaiian
Light" The "Kumu Hawaii" was
printed at Honolulu contemporaries

Conqueror, died in Honolulu, and
her remains were brought to La
haina for interment in the tomb of
her mother, Keopuolani, which have
since been removed to the Royal
mausoleum at Mauna Ala, Honolulu.
The first Bible In Hawaiian was

however, that the Gibraltar was finally
dropped, and it became known as rock

after that it is quoted as rock candy
Throughout England it is known as

the Gibraltar is dropped, and it is
called rock candy"

And so he went ON till he had deliv-

the youth left without giving notice,
and shortly afterward Mr.. Barrie
brought some friends to his fiat. Prom
Using them a special treat, he went to
a cabinet where he kept store of
very choice cigars. You can imagine
his chagrin when he discovered that
the cigars had vanished, and in their
place was the page boys clay pipe and

bad for a boy to smoke twist. Will not
smoke any more twist till have finished

mence tossing them up in the air,
catching them as they returned. Soon
his hands were motionless. but the
balls kept ascending and, so far as
know, are ascending still. They did
not return. Were they dematerialized
by some Invisible psychic power? Such
is my opinj ION. During my stay in
Madras there came down from a
mountain a genuine psychic and seer.
He was truly a venerable mystic. In a
bungalow on a bright sunshiny day, 3
o'clock p. M, a dozen present. this old
yogi burned incense, repeated some
mantras and said in substance, Now
I can move any object in this room by
my will" Rejecting few moments,
said, Command those peacock plumes
up there to come to YOU" Focusing his
thought, his will, upon them, they
leaped at his bidding from the case
and, sailing around the room, fell at
his feet. Other objects were moved in
a similar manner. This was genuine
white magic.-St James Gazette.
