Of ths fishermen who sell poles and sci
mIan0ws on the pier IS generally believed.
These Weather-beaEen mariners assure us
that the direction Of the WIND determines
aether perch VIII or VII not bite. For IA
stance. II the wind is blowing from the
southeast or east We are told that the perch
wiil not bite. " hen asked for = reason, the
" W4-tonian replies that either there Is none
or else be Wi. say that the perch Is an &c
centric animal, aad has chronic objections
70 such winds The fact IS, the perch have
20 eat every day, 20 matter where the wind
comes from. Ii The wind blows from either
of the directions mentioned the water i

goes across or out into the clear water. As
has been stated, be IS cleanly hsh and wll
not tolerate any thing but pure water. The
direction OF the wind therefore only de
ternines whether be win bite or not in the
sense that il Indicates the condition OF the
water There were less perch caught last
season than any other for years, and again
the old mariner On the pier put on
gloomy face aud repeated the worn-out
tale 10 the effect that the tish had been
caught out by the oyerplus OF anglers and
had no chance to propagate.

and southeast WINDS prevailed, driving the
fish into the pure water across the lake. Al

and the market there was glutted with

The perch is not difficult animal TO lure
with the heck. His nature Is trusting, and

have avaied him nothing. He Ri5bles the
