Yesterday was Primo Pale Beer day, that is, it was the first day to sample the beer made by the highly-skilled brew master after his hire [?], and following the modification of the machinery in the brewery at Kakaako.

In order for us to hold on to all of the olelo noeau and all of the ingenious deeds of the Hawaiian people, we very much want everyone to assist the Bishop Museum in their collecting and explaining of wise and witty sayings known amongst this race.
So that this endeavor will move forward, whenever an ancient olelo noeau comes to mind, or perhaps a riddle, do write it down and send it to the museum; and if not to there, send it directly to the Kuokoa with clarification of its hidden meaning or deep wit.
Here are some olelo noeau sent from the museum to this newspaper:
Uhiuhi lau mamane, kahe ka wai o Kapapala.
Hookahi no hawa’e, lauhue Kona.
Kau ke poo i ka uluna, o Welehu ka malama.
Aohe hana a Kauhikoa, ua kau ka waa i ke aki.
Haehae ka manu, ke aleale nei ka wai.
E aho hoi ka make i ke kaua, he nui na moepuu.
Nakeke na iwi o Hua i ka la.
Uliuli kai pali o Kahikinui, kolo mai ka ohu la he ino.
Ua komo ka i’a i ka makaha, ua puni i ka nae.
Kulia i ka nuu, i ka paepae kapu o Liloa.
Aohe loea i ka wae opae.
Hoi hou ka paakai i Waimea.
Aohe u’i hele wale o Kohala.
Wehea iho maluna o Hihimanu.
E ike ia kaua hoa kanaka, o kipa hewa ke aloha i ka ilio; he ilio hoi ia, e, he kanaka hoi au, a!
Ka poe unaunahi hee o Kula.
Hilinai Puna, kalele ia Kau.
Hihi Kaunoa, hihi Mana; aloha wale ia laau makua ole.
Kiilili pua hau o Kalena.
Maemae i ke kai ka pua o ka hala.
Maewa wale i ka pali o Kahiwa. Niniu Puna i ke ala.
Nui pumaia, ohaka oloko.
Eleelepi ka waha o kanaka.
He wa ulu keia o ka hoi.
Ua le’a kaina a ka la’i, ua malie.
Make ke kalo, ola i ka naio.
Aia i kula i ka alaalapuloa.
E hoomanao i ka lua o ka ohiki.
Ako Nuuanu i ka hale halauloa a ka makani; ako Manoa i ka hale a ka ehu.
Na manu kolea kau ahua.

[Here is an interesting advertisement appearing a hundred years ago in what was until just recently the Honolulu Advertiser. It is a cut out and mail in subscription form for Ka Nupepa Kuokoa!]
Pacific Commercial Advertiser, Vol. LIV, No. 9175, p. 2. January 3, 1912.
I request of everyone of Hawaii nei: the Schoolmasters, teachers, school superintendents, and all people in general, to inform us immediately of the names of pe0ple who get married, and give birth, and die, in your area; they will be published together in the Hae Hawaii weekly so that the readers will see. That is how the haole papers work; those kinds of things are printed weekly. This is how to write in.
O Hae Hawaii; P. Kimo and E. Kalama were wed on the 5th of Ap. 1857, Lahaina; they were married by D. B.
Or like this. O H. H. On the 5th of Ap., 1857, Kahale died at Waialua, Oahu, at 35 years of age. He died of fever.
Or like this. O H. H. On the 5th of Ap. 1857, Aka was born, a son, to Kamai and Kahele, at Kaupo, Maui.
That is how they will be printed succinctly, and they will be published all together in the Hae every week; the church members and friends from afar will be happy to read this sort of thing. Therefore, everyone be alert to these things. Let the Schoolmasters and all educated people be encouraged so that this information is given at promptly. Inform us of when a child is born, so too when someone dies, and when people get married. That is how it is done in enlightened lands; and this indeed is an enlightened land; the time of ignorance has passed. Report it all to the Head of the Hae Hawaii, J. Fuller.
ARMSTRONG.

Photography shoots are very reasonable at Wiliama’s place; you will receive beautiful prints from 4.00 for a dozen.
[Speaking of photography, the microfilming of these newspapers were done many years ago, and the resulting images taken from those microfilms are many times not legible. I barely could make out the tiny print. There needs to be funding to reshoot the Hawaiian-Language Papers, so that the words from the past can be seen clearly today!!]
