At almost any moment the torch of
life, still flickering in a body kept up
by the Strang -vitality which has
marked the queen from her girlhood,
may tucker out.
At 3:15 o'clock this afternoon Her
. Majesty was semi-conscious and there
was no material change in her con
dition. Secretary .Iaukea said . tne
prospects were she would survive the
afternoon and possibly the .night.
AVith relatives .and Intimate
friends at her bedside or nearby, the
queen's tide of life ebbs and flows.
Today's serious condition follows a
sudden sinking spell late yesterday.
Last . evening her condition became
so grave that it was thought she wac
dying, and Prince Kuhio was ; sum
moned with' Princess Kalanianaole'.
- At 11 'o'clock she was unconscious
and remained so for a large part ' of
the night, but this morning rallied
somewhat and, though very weak,
was. pronounced by her physician. Dr.
W. C. Hobdy, to be much better, than

better roads.
In spite of the mud and the gener

minutes at the lighthouse and then
hurriedly betook themselves to the
