There is also going to be a presentation related to this at the Distinctive Women in Hawaiian History Program on Saturday, September 15, 2012)

Unfortunately, the available digital image is as seen below, the actual  newspaper image should probably be much more clear and legible.]

WITH A THROW NET.

The many pictures below show Arthur Rice fishing with a throw net, one of the foremost fishermen using a throw net. These are pictures taken recently at Kipukai, Kauai.

[The newspapers don’t only contain words. After about 1900 there appear photos, and many like these  are much clearer in the original. There needs to be clear shots of the papers done. I almost could not make out some of the text in the top description!]

This is a picture of Maui Kaiko, one of the paper boys of the Kuokoa, along with his new hat. Maui Kaiko is 70 years old now, yet he is just as lively selling newspapers as the youngsters of town, and by selling newspapers, he has everything he needs in life.

[Notice how the word “keiki” is not only used for young boys (or children in general), but is also used how we use it today, as in: “Maui boy” or “local boy”…]

Speaking of Hawaiians serving in the military, does anyone remember Diamond Kekona? 1916.

A Son of Hawaii Goes to War for Britain

This picture was sent from Britain giving notice that Diamond Kekona, a Hawaiian, was enlisting in the Military of the homeland of his wife, Britain. He is prepared for when he will be called to service. Those in the picture are Mr. and Mrs. Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Diamond Kekona, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. One of the women is an older sister of Mrs. Kekona’s. And one of the men is their brother.

[When i was posting to the old Hoolaupai Face Book page, there were many letters sent by Diamond Kekona from England to his father Dick [Richard Kekona] which were posted. If anyone wants to see them reposted here, where they will be easily searchable, i can do that. I will post the first letter i found in the papers right after this as an example.]

Hawaiian Opera, 1925.

Glee Club of Charles E. King

This is a scene from the Opera “Prince of Hawaii” presented at the Liberty Theater on the night of Monday last, continuing its performance until the night of Saturday, May 9. Mr. C. E. King put together this Opera, and there are only talented singers who perform the songs.

There was much lauding of the performance of Monday night, and for that reason, Liberty Theater has been full every night since–not just for the beautiful appearance of the singers, but also because of the beauty of their singing.

The proceeds of this opera will go to funding the education of Hawaiian children; for a scholarship set up by the Hawaiian Civic Club.

[I’m not much into opera, but I still would like to have witnessed this first hand!]
