News of the Royal Court
The health of the King these past days has been good, and in the evening of this Wednesday he sailed for Molokai aboard the ship of Captain Thomas B. Hanham [Kapena Hanehama]. Accompanying him was His Excellency J. O. Dominis and His Excellency F. W. Hutchison, just as we stated the other week. They will travel to Molokai, and Maui, and perhaps all the way to the Kanilehua rain of Hilo. God save the King.

Shivering in the cold.–On the Saturday of big rain before the 28th of November, heavy raindrops made a clatter atop the tents of the surveyors staying on the summit of Haleakala.

Kanikauwepa [Crack of the Whip].–An ohai tree that grew before the place that Haleakala stood was called by this name, on the north-east side of Kinau Gate (the Richards Street gate) [of Iolani Palace]; and under this tree soldiers who broke the rules of the military were whipped. And that is how it got its name.
A CORRECTION.
Within the news published in the Kuokoa last week, June 18, 1920, beneath the heading, “Ka Aha Ike a na Maori ma ka Home o Mrs. A. P. Taylor,” the name of the Princess Kawananakoa was mistakenly inserted among the people invited. What is correct there is the Princess Kalanianaole.–Editor.
In the upland of Manoa, at the home of Mrs. A. P. (Ahuena) Taylor, at “Luana Pua,” an audience was given in honor of the Maori of New Zealand living here in this town. Present were a great many Hawaiians where they spent a great amount of time last night socializing with the malihini, and comparing the old Hawaiian stories with the stories of the Maori people.
This is the second time that the Maori showed up at the home of Mrs. A. P. Taylor. On this night, because of the wish of these malihini to have abundant time to meet and speak with descendants of the great families of Hawaii nei.
Present were the descendants of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua lines that night, so too were some kamaaina possessing deep knowledge of the history of the Hawaiian lahui to satisfy what these malihini desired. Continue reading
LEFT THIS LIFE FOR THE LAND OF SPIRITS BEYOND.
The angel of death came and shut the bodily house of Jos. B. Kaaoao, and forced out the spirit to return to whence it came, in the evening of Sunday, the 28th of July, at Olowalu, Maui, at his own residence, Wehekaolu.
He was born at Lahaina in September 1829, from the loins of Keliiahonui (m) and Ailaau (f). He was taken by his mother to go live at Haliimaile, Makawao, as per the desire of his father, Keliiahonui. The Monarchs [?] during those days were not pleased with that child, and from there they went to live at Kamaile, Waianae, Oahu. Continue reading
