About nupepa

Just another place that posts random articles from the Hawaiian Newspapers! It would be awesome if this should become a space where open discussions happen on all topics written about in those papers!! And please note that these are definitely not polished translations, but are just drafts!!! [This blog is not affiliated with any organization and receives no funding.

Aloha Pauahi the Alii

This coming Friday, the 19th of December is the day to remember, for all those Hawaiian hearts with love for their Chiefs, the birthday of the Princess Mrs. Pauahi Bishop, the Mother who left behind the glory of her name with her lahui from one generation to the next, all the way until the very last Hawaiian child. Being that she is the Royal Mother who remembered the youth of the people of her own flesh, skin, and blood, by dedicating her wealth to the establishing of the Kamehameha Schools where our youths are to be educated.

We commemorate the sacredness and the grandeur of her name, “The Mother of Her People,” and upon our breasts is a bouquet of unforgettable flowers pinned with deep sadness of love. She now sleeps the eternal sleep, but her name is remembered with awe amongst the children whom she supported, along with their parents. We now voice from our lips with appreciation—”Aloha Pauahi, the Alii.”

E o e ka wahine hele la o Kaiona
Alualu wai li’ula o ke kaha puaohai
O ka ua lani polua, po anu o ke Koolau,
Kuu hoa o ka malu kiu, malu kukui o Kahoiwai.

[And more on the celebration one hundred years ago, at the Kamehameha Schools.]

More fishes, more prices, 1918.

FISH PRICES SET ONCE AGAIN.

For the benefit of the public, printed below is the chart of the prices of the many fishes being sold, by the orders of the Food Administrator [Lunahooponopono o na Meaai], Child, whether it be at the market or somewhere else; each home is invited to keep this chart, so that they will not be fooled by the fish mongers.

With this establishing by the commission of this price chart of the fishes, it is acceptable to sell fish below the price, being that this is the top price when the fish is scarce; if there is an abundance, the prices will be decreased.

This chart of fish prices was decided through discussion of the Food Administration [komisina o na meaai] along with the people who sell fish and the fishermen; these prices will continue until the coming month of October.

Here below is the new chart of the price of fishes, compared with the old prices.

1. Mahealani—Full moon by Hawaiian count, and same as the Haole count.

2. Muku—There is no moon; its moon is taken by Hilo, and that is why it is called “Hilo Aihue” [Thieving Hilo]. Therefore, Muku enters or is lost into the night of Hilo, and it can be said that the night of the 24th, is the night of Saturday, and is a night of “Muku” as well as “Hilo.”

3. Hilo—This is the night of the New Moon, that being Hilo: however, it might be only seen for a bit, being that this moon, Hilo, appears at 1:24 and 9 seconds in the afternoon. (This is the time of the mahina hou (new moon) according to the haole). The sun will set at 6:04 and 2 seconds. At 11:47  that night, the moon will set.

Clarification—This explanation will be changed every month.

[I recently ran across this term “Hilo Aihue” once again after not seeing it for a number of years. The earliest i have seen it used is by a man commonly known as J. L. Kukahi. He actually gives his name as being Joseph Liwai Kawohikukahi, and his explanation of “Hilo Aihue” appears in an ongoing argument with D. M. Punini, Jr. (David M. Punini, Jr.) over the traditional Hawaiian calendar. See Makaainana, 4/22/1895, p. 3.]
