Clearwater Times: Weeks & Son, Wich-

taken their final leave of duties connected
with our new and elegant school house, and
placed the building in tine hands of the
board. To say that they have given entire
satisfaction ond come up to the expectations
of our people, would but feebly express the
praise they most certainly merit. As per
contract, the building was completed and in
use by the time specified, and not one point
was left neglected or liable to criticism, and
the building itself is surely ample evidence
of their ingenious workmanship, and unex-
celled skill. Mr.. Weeks and his promising
son. have each won the highest respect of
our citizens, and have q host of warm
friends, with words Of praise on their
tongues and well-wishes in their hearts. We

THE CLIMBING PERCH,
An Indian Fish That Climbs Trees in
Caterpillar Fashion.

An Indian Fish That Climbs Trees in
Caterpillar Fashion.
OF all land-frequendng fish by far
the most famous is the so-called climb
ing perch Of India, which not only
walks bodily out of the water, but even
climbs trees by means of special spines,
near the head and tail, so ar
ranged as to stick into the
bark and enable it to wiggle its
way up awkwardly, something after the
same fashion as the 'looping" of cater
pillars. The tree-climber is q small,
scaly fish, seldom more than seven
inches long, but it has developed spe-
cia! breathing apparatus to enable it to
keep up the stock of oxygen on its ter
rcstrial excursions, which may be re-
garded as to some extent the exact
converse Of the means employed by
divers to supply themselves with air
under water. just above the gills,
which forms of course its natural
hereditary breathing apparatus, the
climbing-perch has invented a new
and wholly original water chamber,
containing within it frilled bony
organ, which enables it to extract oxy-
gen from the stored-up water during
the course Of its aerial peregrinations.
While on shore it picks up small in
sects, worms and grubs; but it also has
vegetarian tastes of its own, and does
not despise fruits and berries. The In
dian ingglers tame the climbing perches
and carry them about with them as.
part of their stock in trade; their ability
to live for long time out of water
makes them useful confederates in
many small tricks which seem very
wonderful to people accustomed to be-
lleve that fish die almost at once when
taken out of their native clement

DISPLAY WEDDINGS,
HAPPY Marriages Fortunately Not Ds

HAPPY Marriages Fortunately Not De-
| pendent upon Outward Show.
A marriage ceremony may be very
simple or very ostentatious. One
clergyman and two witnesses will suf.
lice, but there are weddings at which
several ministers assist, and hundreds
OF guests are present.
Then there are infinite shades of va.
riety in the matter of bridesmaids,
groomsmen, ushers, music and flowers.
There may be none Of these accessories,
or all of them. But the most pro-
nounced display Of music and flowers
that has come to our attention, was at
recent wedding where "the bride was
preceded to the chancel by hundred
choir-boys in white gowns, chanting
the Lohrngrin wedding march" and
where at the reception, instead Of hav-
ing but one marriage-hell Of roses,
they had four, suspended over the
heads of the happy pair.
We should advise all possible show,
instead of simplicity, at weddings, If
the happiness of the bride and groom
could thereby be assured. But fort
unately the outward surroundings of
the marriage ceremony have little in
fluence over the future Of those whom
it unites in wedlock, and love is quite
as apt to be present at the humblest
nuptials as at the grandest Of weddings
The rich enjoy no advantage over the
poor in this respect No amount Of
display will insure them happier mar.
