THE FOREIGN CHRISTMAS TREE
Children lined up before the Executive Building to Receive Presents.
Two years have past since the start of the giving of a Malihini Christmas Tree heavy with presents of all sorts to the indigent children, and this year it seems as if there was the most presents collected along with the most children, reaching more than about two thousand, but showers coming down when the presents were being handed out was problematic for the little children and the gifts as well, and many of the presents were damaged.

The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, Volume XXVI, Number 4670, Page 7. July 27, 1897.
Last we we were shown by Kalua, a coconut-eating crab, which he found in the yard of the Senior Alii C. Kanaina, in a deep hole dug into the earth. Its whole appearance is strange indeed.
