I was excited when I read the news this morning in the Honolulu Star Advertiser. I thought I might have been able to give this site up… I guess we all have to start somewhere!

The LBK-A-LONO

This extension of the Kona and Kohala, and called the name of the heap after Thomas–Bright–of–the–Carlton, one of the highest structures of Hawaii is famous in the history book of kings lieutenants of Hawaii Corr.

For the coming retainer with the troops camped in this place, and set the marshals heap and called the name of “The Ahu–a-Lono,” after the name of Thomas King structures. So shoot the name of this heap of stones until this day kiahoomanao operations built by the renowned chief retainer for the new generations of this I remember the famous works of the our fathers have gone through the sacred name of Thomas.

I am sure there will come a day that it will read better. I applaud Google for this first step!

HANDICRAFT.

The hand wields the scepter.

PRINTED BY BOYS OF KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL.

HONOLULU, H. I., JANUARY , 1889.

As a convenient medium of communication with the friends and patrons of Kamehameha School, it is believed that Handicraft will receive a cordial welcome. It will be our aim to foster the interest of the public in our school, and to keep prominent the subject of manual training.

We shall make this emphatically a Kamehameha journal. While taking note of all educational matters in our little Kingdom, we shall specially aim to serve the interests of this school, and to promote its growth and development.

[The priceless issues of the Handicraft are just one of the many cool items from Kamehameha Schools’ history found on their Archives page.]

Kalihi fire, 1889.

The glowing fire on the Kalihi mountains Thursday night Feb. 21, was caused by workmen burning off the grass on the site of the new reservoir in the upper Nuuanu Valley. The fire could easily have been controlled in the first instance. As it was, it was allowed to run up a narrow ridge, and thence to spread along the flanks of the mountain until it became an extensive conflagration, destroying many vigorous young koa trees and persistently working itself down into the valley. On Friday morning, two teachers and about twenty of the largest boys in the Kamehameha School went up to the fire and after a vigorous battling with the dense smoke succeeded in hemming in the fire, and finally subdued it. The utmost care in such a dry season should be used in preventing the setting, much more the spreading, of fire in the grass and bushes above Honolulu. A few such fires would make it unnecessary to build extra reservoirs.
