Something New.
Kauka Makaainana (Dr. Hillebrand) has obtained five RANA (frogs) from California, and put them in his irrigated terrace, and they are all doing fine. They have a strange call. The nature of those animals is that they have two lives. They eat small creeping insects, flies, grasshoppers, and other things like that. Therefore it is a good thing. O People of Honolulu, do not harm these new things should you see them, because they are valuable.

THERE WERE MANY TOURISTS THIS JANUARY
The members of our Tourist Bureau believe that the number of tourists coming here to Hawaii this year will far surpass all the previous years; according to them, the trend can be seen early because of the number of tourists who arrived this past January.
There were 771 more tourists who came in the month of January of this year than last January.
The total number of tourists who arrived last month was 2485, and in January of the year prior was only 1814.

A tiny mango tree.–At Kahapula’s1 place in the uplands of Kalihi, there is a short mango tree, its height not more than an iwilei.2 But it is amazing that while it is so tiny, it produces so much fruit. Should there be many of those mango trees in one place, there would be nothing more beautiful to see.
Does anyone know what photos this is referring to?
