Nature’s Wonders
I just checked out this new exhibit today at the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum. It is awesome! If you are here on Oahu nei from now until the 27th of October, you have to go check it out. Once it is done, it will be gone like so many sand mandalas. The creations will be carefully taken apart and the specimens returned to their proper drawers for safe keeping.
Here is a little peek.

Engine Company #1 of Hilo and the Fourth of July, 1865.
[Found under: “HUNAHUNA MEA HOU O HAWAII NEI.”]
Engine Company Number 1 of Hilo.—J. A. Kealohanui of Hilo, Hawaii wrote of the appearance of the cheerful boys of that Company on this past 4th of July. On the night of the third, they went to the house of Poonahoahoa [Thomas Spencer], and there they played their horns and drums, which woke him up, and he came outside and thanked them. On the next day, they went there again, and from there to the place of the Governor [Keelikolani] and gave her three cheers, and three for the Hawaiian Flag. She remarked that this is a fine Company. With them go our warm aloha.

Old fire engines up for auction, 1868.
Old Fire Engines [Kaawai].—In the midday of this past Monday, directly in front of the auction office of E. P. Adams, some old Fire Engines were put up for auction. Engine Number 1, “Hoomanawanui,” and Engine Number 4, “Holokahana” of the Hawaiians. When they were auctioned, Engine Number 1 went to James L. Lemon for $90, and Number 4 went to D. Foster for $126. What the two will do with the Fire Engines, we were not told; perhaps they will send it somewhere else.

Ka Haku o Hawaii and Fire Engine Company 4, 1862.
[Found under: “NA MEA HOU O HAWAII NEI.”]
New Member for Number 4.—Recently, His Highness, Ka Haku o Hawaii, became a new member of Engine Company Number 4 [Hui Kinaiahi Helu 4]. We see the young Alii joining in on these fine work. This is an example for others, as if reminding us that we ourselves should join in good endeavors of all sorts, while putting effort into fostering these works, and living properly, and treating well all those with whom we meet. Look to this Example.

John F. Colburn [Kolopana] passes away, 1861.
[Found under: “Kela mea keia mea o Hawaii nei.”]
DEATH.—Death continues its work amongst us, and has taken one of our workers. John F. Colburn (Kolopana), died on this past morning of Sunday. For many years he was the Auctioneer in this Town, and he held a high stature amongst the fine folks. He was for some years a Fireman, and when he died, he was one of the Heads of the Fire Department [Oihana Kinai Ahi]. At his funeral, all of the people of the firefighters attended his funeral. The engine of the Hook and Ladder Company [Hui Lou me ke Alapii] was where his body was laid and pulled by the Hook and Ladder Company and the other four Fire Companies dressed in their Fire fighting uniforms, while the procession went from his residence to where he was buried; the bell of Engine Company #1 [Hui Helu 1] rang out long, and it was a very fine service. Kolopana was from New York, where his parents and sister now live. He left behind his widowed wife, and three children.
