I wonder who would think riding this was a good idea, 1893.

NEW MERRY-GO-ROUND.

On Hotel Street, on the Waikiki side of Kanekina.

There is the newest kind of Merry-go-Round, never seen before here in Honolulu. The wheels are run by steam engine, and when it is in motion, the horses jump up and down, and the car calmly rises and falls.

Follow closely the rules which I have advertised.

All injuries suffered by person or persons when riding this Merry-go-Round will be the responsibility of the person or persons; not mine.

This Merry-go-Round is in service every EVENING.

Ka Nuhou Hawaii ad, 1874.

KA NUHOU HAWAII
THAT BEING
The True Independent Newspaper [as opposed to Ka Nupepa Kuokoa]!

A Spokesperson For Hawaiians!

Ka Nuhou says, Hawaii is for Hawaiians.

Let the Ministers be Hawaiians!

Lessen the Pay of the Ministers.

Ka Nuhou has a Kaao

BY THE NAME OF LAKAMANA!

This is the Dark-Skinned Warrior of the Malaysians. It is a beautiful Kaao published in Hawaiian.

There are other fine Kaao which Gibson will publish; not from the books of the Haole.

Some are Hawaiian Kaao.

The body of the Newspaper is good. It can be bound as a book.

The NUHOU will become the Good Book here in Hawaii from amongst Hawaiian Books read for pleasure.

Perhaps it will be lost, and some people will regret not having them.

IT IS JUST A DOLLAR

FOR

Six Months!

Send in your payment so that you can get the Beginning of Lakamana.

Wailaahia travels to China with her husband, 1866.

[Found under: “NU HOU KULOKO.”]

A Hawaiian Woman in China:—With the arrival of a trade ship from China this past Saturday, we saw a Hawaiian woman aboard. She was back in China with her husband, where they went to visit, and for her to see the land of her husband. There were many people who showed her around in Hong Kong [Honokaona], being that it was something new seeing a Hawaiian woman in those parts. What a good thing for that Hawaiian woman to see the “aina pua”* of her husband. The people probably spoke unintelligibly as her husband spoke unintelligibly back, all the while she was cut short. The name of this Hawaiian woman who went visiting is Wailaahia.

Kuokoa tries to alter tradition, 1923

THE PAGES OF THE NEWSPAPER TO BE CUT.

Because the paper coming into this office these days is a fraction, as well as the type setting boy of the Kuokoa cannot adequately fill the usual eight pages of the newspaper every week, being that the other type setters are busy with a lot of other jobs, so he has no help. It has been decided for now to cut down the paper to six pages.

While this decrease of the Kuokoa to six pages is expected not to be for a long time, but when we see that the path is clear to return the newspaper to its regular size, we will let the public know.
