PHOTOGRAPHY! PHOTOGRAPHY!
Hear me, you people who want photographs; here at my photo studio are photographic equipment of all sorts, and the costs are very minimal, and WELL WORTH THE COST: The time is now to come before me to take your pictures, because I will soon be going to Hawaii, and you all will be left wanting; therefore, do not dally.

J. W. King (Kini), Photographer, will travel about Hawaii, taking pictures of Hawaiian things. He was sent by a haole man from New York for things to exhibit at the Barnum’s Museum of curiosities in the city of New York. He wants pictures of places here in Hawaii to show to those visiting his lot of curiosities.
News of the Royal Court.
The King was in town on Wednesday and Friday; and on Saturday, he came into town once more to get his picture taken at the photography studio of Mr. Weed.
These past days, the committees crowded into the residence of His Highness M. Kekuanaoa, in order to fulfill the wants of the people for the 31st of July.
Her Highness Princess Kamamalu, accompanied by the Hon. D. Kalakaua, went to see the iron two-masted schooner of Captain Hanham [Kapena Hanamu]. That same evening, the Dowager Queen held a party for the young chiefs and chiefesses at Haimoeipo.
Perhaps this Thursday, the King will prepare to sail to Molokai aboard the Themis [Temesi]

The Day of the Nation Conqueror, Kamehameha I.
This coming Sunday, the 11th of June, is Kamehameha Day. This day is regularly celebrated as the birthday of the Nation Conqueror Kamehameha I here in Hawaii. And this regular celebration is what we will do this year.
It is a usual thing for all the Hawaiian associations to hold a memorial service for the one for whom this important holiday is, on the Sunday preceding the 11th of June. But this year that day falls on a Sunday, so it is appropriate that the memorial activities be carried out with sincerity and maturity by us this year.

The Alii Liliuokalani enjoyed seeing the sitting young birds of all sorts. The alii climbed the ridges and descended the valleys until reaching an area where Loulu trees leaves grew deep green. The Alii found comfort under its shade along with some of the people who got there. When the Alii was in repose, our famous photographer J. Williams was lively at work taking photographs [hoolele aka]. The Alii Liliuokalani ate her lunch upon the twisted surface of this Island. After the meal, the Alii made ready to return to the lee of Nihoa, and some others turned back as well. At that time the whistle of the ship was heard calling to everyone to return to the ship.
