O Kuokoa Newspaper; Aloha oe:—
At 11 o’clock at night on the 19th of March, landed at the shore of Kailua nei were the King; Queen Kapiolani; Her Highness, R. Keelikolani; Minister of Finance S. K. Kaai; and some others. There were many of us gathered during those days. On the 22nd, the Queen went to the uplands of Kuahewa to see the troubles of Nawai, a blind man, to give him some help for his home that burned down.

That section of the land known as Uluniu which faces Kalakaua Avenue stretching from Ainahau to the area very close to the residence of Representative Kuhio, went to the new owner, Percy M. Pond, through a sale on the morning of this past Friday.
The land is almost six acres, and includes a majority of the house lot in Waikiki previously owned by Prince Kuhio. According to what is being said in public, it went for the price of $32,500. Continue reading

This day is the 61st birthday of Queen Kapiolani, one of the royals still living with good health. She and her Princes celebrated her birthday in the shade of the coconut fronds of Kawehewehe just as this awesome day is always commemorated, where all of her household joined in in celebrating the birthday of their royal lady. The Dowager Queen is in good health, and will have many more years of birthdays, and it is our prayer that the Queen whose birthday it is will have a long healthy life until she grows old.

Yesterday was the birthday of The Chiefess Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Amongst the alii who passed on, Ke alii Pauahi is one who lives on in the minds of her lahui. She accumulated her great wealth and before her passing, she left most of it to build a School for the children of her people. Her strong desire was that her lahui be taught English and the proper knowledge for them to progress. Today there has been hundreds who have benefited from the knowledge they gained from these schools. She has gone on but left an unforgettable monument standing upon her land.
Lunalilo blessed the old people of his aina; Queen Kapiolani, the women who are increasing the race; Pauahi, educates those children. Those are the alii who left enduring monuments; and their names shall forever reverberate against the beloved walls of Hawaii nei.

On the Meridian of Honolulu,
At 33° Latitude, 157° 30′ Longitude.
O ka ike lihi aku i na ae one ma o,

A ke huli kuu alo no ka huakai home,
E nalo na manao hele auwana.

[A glimpse of the sandy strand beyond,
Is what my eyes now long for,
With a prayer that I arrive there once more,
Do not allow my hopes to go unfulfilled!
The white misting waves,
Of that sandy shore; is my love,
I turn and face the road home,
Gone are my thoughts of roaming.
O My dear that waits, for you are my recollections,
With a maile lei about your neck!
Oh, tell me, O Angry wild sea,
When will you stop restraining me?
I cannot be with you right now,
For we are separated by the great ocean,
But I proclaim, O Dear sweetheart,
I hope to be with you again.
Your aloha and your faith,
Guide me on my path,
And as I see the world,
A gift to me is that aloha.]

For Queen Kapiolani Napelakapu; from Holoholoku comes this mele for the wife of Aikanaka, the King of Kauai; Hinaaikamala [Hinaaikamalama] was the wife of Aikanaka; which was recorded by S. Hinau. A small portion was copied here below.

[This can also be seen in the mele “Nani Kuu Maka e Au Wale Nei-e,” found on pages 264–267, of Na Mele Aimoku, Na Mele Kupuna, a me Na Mele Ponoi o ka Moi Kalakaua I. It is credited to Niau. There is also an appended note that the top of this mele has been lost.
It is also unfortunate that this newspaper, Ka Elele Poakolu, is still not available online in any form.]

This morning, precisely at eight o’clock, a very interesting ceremony took place at the Palace. A few minutes before the hour a detachment of soldiers marched from the barracks with the Royal Standard and a new flag for Her Majesty Queen Kapiolani. As the clock struck eight they were hoisted up on the top of the building, the drum corps playing from the barracks. The Queen’s flag, which was hoisted for the first time, is a very handsome one. It is a white ground, in the centre of which is a red circle with the inscription “Kalaualani,” the whole of which is surmounted by a crown.
[See a recreation of this flag made from available descriptions done by Iolani Palace!]
