DO FLYING FISH FLY.

It has long been q question with
scientists whether flying fish actually
fly, or are only carried forward
through the air by the impulse which
they gave to their bodies while still
in the water. Prof. Mobins expresses
an authoritative opinion, and claims
that they are totally unable to fly, for
the reason that the muscles which
move the pectoral fms are not suf-
ficiently large to bear the weight of
their bodies in the air In birds the
average weight of the muscles which
are concerned in the movement of the
wings is one sixth that of the entire
body; in bats one thirteenth. while ia
the flying fish it is only onethirty-
fifth He aff1rms, therefore, that the
impulse to the propulsion of the fish
in the air is delivered while they are
still in the water.-Ex.

Impelled in his direction.

And raise the flaming banner,

Right at the front he bore the brunt

And stood when shoals of weaker souls
Ran of like frightened cattle.
Let every voice applaud our choice,
And sing a strong hOsanna

To which he might be beckOned;

\ SEINE FISHERMAN HEARD
FROM.

SMALLs X ROADS. June p, '88.
Editor FISHERMAN & FARMER.
DEAR SIR Your paper of June
22d contains a letter from W. L.
Nixon endorsing II. A. Bond for the
Legislature. Now, Mr- Editor, in all
fairness to Mr.. Nixon, I ask why is
this? It is because Mr.. Bond has
done all that he can for the Dutch
Nets and tried to cut the throat Of
every man that has the courage to
fish Seine on Chowan river.
We, the fishermen of Seines, and
friends OF such, are opposed to any
man going to the Legislature who is
IN anv way interested in the fishing
business The Seines have no pro-
lection on Chowan river. except what
5he Dutch Net men and DIr. Pruden
to back them are willing to give us.
The Albemarle Sound is protected.
ChOwan river is not.
Mr. Editor, if you will Jake trip
up Chowan river and see where Mr.
Nixon has his nets, you will at once
see why he is in such eager favor
for Mr.. Bond.
l am IN favor of Luther W. Parker
whose integrity and fairness to all
classes can not be doubted and who
can pole more votes than any other
man in Chowan county.
Is there such law that all net
stakes, etc, in Chowan river shall be
taken up by June first? If such is
the case why has the Grand Jury not
looked into the matter.
[Signed. A Farmer, Fisherman
Of Seine and Nets and Subscriber

TIE BUSTLE MUST GO.

The Tobacco Plant says: The
ladies, without whom no country is
worth living in, have right to be
kept posted on the news. The Plant
rises to announce that the b@stle
must go. From the New York
World we get this statement which
carries its own Interpretation: The
hustle must go. The upper circles
of Washington society have been
thrown into a hutter of excitement by
the announcement that Mrs. CIeve
land has abandoned the bustle. Last
week she drove in and received a few
friends at the White House. The
ladies who called could hardly
believe the evidence Of their own eyes
when they observed the entire
absence Of the customary hustle.
They looked again, however, and
saw that their first impressions had
been correCt-Mrs. Cleveland was
bustleness. No remarks were made
on either side, but it IS comparatively
certain that now that Mrs. Cleveland
has abandoned the hustle the rest Of
feminine upper-tendom in Washing
ton will lose no time in following her
example.

Notwithstanding the great enthu-
siasm which has been expressed in
indianapolis over the nomination of
Mr. Harrison, the more conservative
people believe that that gentleman
will not be able to carry the State.
Mr.. John y. Finch. prominent law
yer of indianapolis and a politician
ofsome note, who is at present Wis
iting in New York, said yesterday to
a Times reporter:
THE temperance people are dissat-
ished with the Republican PLATFORM
and the Indianapolis News, power
full independent tariff reform Repub
Iican journal that supported Bynum
for Congress, while it supports Har-
rison for the Presidency, denounces
the Republican platform unsparingIy,
and thus its own power is neutralized.
Gresham and Ex-Governor Porter are.
in my opinion the only men that can
beat Thurman in Indiana, and Cleve-
land is even more popular than are
either of them. I think that Mr..
Porter will be forced to the nomina
ton for Governor to boost Harrison,
who failed to carry the State in 1876.
Mr.. Porter is strongly opposed to
this, however, as he had Presidential
himself, and he does not
wish to shovel coal into the cellar of
Mr.. Harrison if he can avoid it with
out administering his own death-blow.
That is a weak hope, but the only
one whereby it would be rendered
possible for Mr.. Harrison to carry
the State Of Indiana. New Y York

AN ORIGINAL PICTURE OF
SCOTT PARTIN.

The News and Observer Of the 5th
says: Maj. J. B. Neathery yester-
dav presented US with copy Of the
Southern Illustrated Age, formerly
published in this city by r. T.
Fulghum. The paper bears date Of
August 18th, 1875, and contains a
picture Of Scott Partin taken shortly
before the crime. 1t is said to be
good likeness of the criminal at the
time. In this picture Partin is rep
resented as having full face, with
very thick, rather droopy lips. Both
eyes are squinted, the right more
than the left, and have languid and
lazy appearance. Underneath both
eyes the flesh is very full. The
picture as a whole seems to differ in
all respects from the prisoner here
The differences do not appear to be
such as would have been wrought by
time, but are differences Of constitu-
ton. There are some, however, who

Queen company has already delivered
$50 tons Of ore to the smelter. By the
way negotiations. are closed and Mr.. w.
e. Terhune, formerly of the Iron Hill,
has been employed to come out and as
sumo charge OF the plant. Mr.. Terhune
has already started from New York for
the Hills and is due to arrive here now
at any time. The fact that bis services
have been secured seems to assure the
success of the undertaking, and all things
now point to profitable career for the
gentlemen at the head of the enterprise.
AS has been more than once stated, Ga
lena has half dozen or more mines that
can be operated to good profit whenev-
er home market shall appear for the
ores. Among them are the Queen,
Horseshoe, Hayes, Bullion, Merritt and
Cora. Developments on each are extern
siye and large ore bodies are disclosed.
With the smelter in operation, and a
purchaser of ores at fair valuation,
work on these mines will be on a larger
scale than ever. Employment will be
given number of men and the camp
must therefore prosper. Pioneer
