Nā Iʻa Kū.–Here at Waimea, Oʻahu, there are a lot of fish schooling. 1. Akule, 2. Weke, 3. Nehu. But that of the greatest number is Nuha. And we hear that at Kaiaka as well, it is amazing; this is not something that happened from before; it is the first time. The horse-drawn wagons keep coming; [Kū ka ʻāhua, hana ka hāʻawe] Heaps pile up to be carried away on the back.

We are saddened to hear of the death of Mrs. Maraea Brown, on the second of this month, at Hilo. She was ill for a lengthy six months, until the day she died. This is a woman familiar to those of this town from the time she lived here with her first husband, the Alii, John Ii; and familiar to Hilo people because of her new husband, John T. Brown. She was 30 or so years old.
