HAWAIIAN FLAG.

On Thursday afternoon of this last week, Hon. C. W. Ashford raised a Hawaiian Flag hand sewn by some Hawaiian Ladies, whose length was 21 feet and width was perhaps 10 feet.

Before the raising of this flag upon a new Flag Pole built ___ feet tall, his children were called, whose ages are between ___ and ___, to name this Flag Pole and the Flag; when they were asked: What is the name of this Flag Pole and this Flag? They answered together, “Lanatila [Victory];” it was then that the beautiful Flag of Hawaii rose and fluttered in the beloved soft gentle breeze of the motherland; that Flag waves continuously upon this Flag Pole everyday. These are true Hawaiians who have done this first, it is in the uplands of Kalihi past Kamehameha School.

This past Tuesday [100 years ago, on 12/19/1911], the students of the Kamehameha Schools celebrated the birthday of Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop; there were a number of cars which brought them to the cemetery at Maemae; and Queen Liliuokalani was amongst the people who arrived to see the ceremonies held at the cemetery.

ANYONE KNOW OF THE ROYAL FLAG?

This office [of the Kuokoa] was asked by the caretaker of the museum of antiquities at Kamehameha Schools, if perhaps there was someone who knew the whereabouts of the royal flag of Hawaii nei that was taken down from the flagpole of the palace when the rule of Queen Liliuokalani was snatched away, and being that there is no one here in this office who knows of the flag, therefore it is being asked before the public, and perhaps there is a Hawaiian who knows of the flag, or has heard of where it is kept.

There are many Hawaiian flags, but the one that is greatly desired is the royal flag that was taken down on the 17th of January of the year 1893, which is 25 years ago; and the reason for this great desire to acquire this flag is that it will become something that will remind us of the history of Hawaii and her people.

If there is someone who knows, or who has seen where this royal flag is kept, please inform the head of the museum at Kamehameha Schools, or this office.
