From two to five o'clock on Friday morning, February I 2th, a severe gale blew irom the southwest with heavy rain, and incessant lightning. The only serious damage done on shore was the burning out of the switch hoard o( ihe Telephone office, by the ctossing of the electric light wires. The Arago which sailed the evening before with a cargo of sugar for New York, lost her main and mizzen masts and fore topmast, off Koko Head, and was towed back to port. Her disaster was caused by weakness in the foremast tiessel tiees, letting the fore topmast telescope. The falling hamper parted the mainstay, causing general dismasting. Another thunderstorm, less violent but with more rain, occurred five days later, and still a thud on the -''-'nil. Thunder is somewhat of a rarity in these Islands.

Lecture by Prof. Alexander Agassiz. On the evening of February 3rd. Dr. Agassiz delivered at Pauahi Hall of t)ahu College his expected lecture upon the "Present Status of the Theory of Coral Reefs." It was heard by a very large audience. The eminent scientist is also an accomplished speaker, of clear and unhesitating delivery, and lucid and entertaining style. He has spent many years in personal study of coral retfs in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, probably more than any other person. He believes that the facts observed by himself completely refute the long accepted theory of Darwin and Dana, but in this lecture refrained from putting forward any theory his own. We await with deep interest Dr. Agassiz' forthcoming publications on the subject. While the lecturer's illustrious father resolutely refused to turn aside from investigation to lecture for money, the son ffas accumulated an enormous for tune in copper mine operations on Lake Superior. He is expending his money lavishly in the service of science. The Queen Dowager's Property.

Christian faith which then pervaded the �20 Hawaiian people. Their despotic and capricious tempers were also whole somely chastened by the harsh dealings of European consuls and admirals. They submitted to be led by their wise and benevolent white advisers. 'The common people were lifted out of social and political slavery and endowed with a limited share in the government, which was placed upon a liberal and consti tutional basis. Although the later generation of chiefs, elated by prosperity and luxury, discarded the restrictions of civilized quid ince, and reverted to heathen caprice and despotism, thus wrecking the throne, a better regime of free Republican government has taken its place, under which every native or white who will co operate, has opportunity to vote under like conditions. It is now the probably successful effort of the American Colony in Hawaii to ushei this native people, who have so long been the objects of their solicitous and civilizing care, into the exalted status ot citizens of the Great Republic. In the resistless march of commerce, the Hawaiian group is becoming the central meeting-point of the vast and growing ocean-traffic of this hemi sphere. Hawaii has been caught into the middle of the tremendous sweep of civilized activity. 'The people of these islands are hereafter debarred from the old Polynesian repose, and must keep step to the march of commercial activity. Only the alert and capable white man can hereafter rule here, and meet the tense emergencies of commerce. More over the irrepressible influx of other races is submerging the weak remnant of the original people of Hawaii, who have wasted to less than one-tenth of their original number. For these plain reasons it is an absurd dream for them to hope to maintain their ancient auto nomy amid the crushing whirl of inter traffic of surrounding empires. The Hawaiians must be taken under such shelter as can be found, and as speedily as may be. It is now the high privilege of the Americans who have lifted them into intelligence and civilization also to provide for them the safe shelter of American protection, as well as to introduce them into the free and exalted citizenship of the Great Union. Not subjugated like the other Poly nesian tribes, Hawaiians are to partici pate as freemen in the noble fellowship of Ameiican citizens.

Kekahuna in the early morning of tbe 'Jtb of Dec. last, has not yet been chronicled. Miriam Kahai Kekahuna was a woman of rare devotion and strength ol feeling. She loved her family, and was never happier than when cuing for them, or tin some chance guest. She was also fond of tbe church, and the testimony of her husband is, that she never forgot to make her regular monthly offerings on collection day. He adds: "bow many times I have found her in tears at the ringing ot the church bell, when, hecause of her lameness, she could not get to the service." A tew years ago she and her husband i.issed through the great sorrow of losing their only child, who was a student in (he Kdiiiebanieha Boys' School It was said that in the agony of her grief she (and her husband with her) would spend entire nights lying on her boys' grave •vhiLti was in the church yard near by. Mr. X k ihurva was a pupil in the former Wui .lua Girls' School which was kepi by Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Gulick. Her affection for her teacher was something notable. Once I failed to bring Mr. Gulick with me to her house where we were expected as guests. As I arrived alone at the close of the day, chided me for leaving him behind, "where is my teacher,'' she said. Jokingly we. called her Kaahumanu, for she was of colossal size, but in feeling and disposition she was gentle and unassuming—a type of our best womanhood. Of the twenty five years of her service as a pastor's wife, ten were spent at Kahuku, and fifteen at Waianae, where she died. Letter from Capt. Bray.

Dear Sir: -An opportunity presents itself to send a letter directly to I'onape to meet the Spanish steamer ol Decern her iiftth. I am pleased to be able to inform you that we have continued to be greatly prospered in all our work, and at the present time have all the work of this group finished, except the three northren islands of the Radicle Chain—Mt jit, Ailuk and Wotje. We hope to be back to Kusaie and ready to sail for the Gilbert Group by Christmas, and, as Mr. Walkup does not plan to hold the proposed general meeting of thit group, we are not likely to use the 70 days allotted to that trip. In view of all these circumstance*, and all the work of the Caroline Group having already been finished, it is likely that we may reach Honolulu some weeks earlier than the time set by the Hawaiian Board, April llth, 1898. All things are going on in a most satisfactory manner on board, and we have bad no mishaps thus far except the loss of an anchor stock at Arno. The vessel continues perfectly tight, and it seems to me does better steaming than I ever saw her do befoie. Our sails however are not many in number, and rather unsatisfactory in quality. We have been obliged to make some new ones. We have on board Dr. and Mrs. Rife, Miss Hoppin and Miss Olin. Mr. Emerson procably received the letter I sent to him from Ponape in Oct. containing the movements of the Star Rev. S. K. Kamakahiki. to that date, so I need not repeat. We are all well and happy. News came in February of the death Faithfully yours, of Rev. S. K.

Beyond that we must go. We must transform. When we have brought a man to repent of and forsake bis sins we must cleave bis heart, as I will cleave the trunk of my tree.
