TRAINED POWERS OF VISION.

The Wonderful Feat Schwatka Saw Per-
formed by Alaska Indians.
The injury suffered by Lieut.. Schwat-
ka, which led to q report of his death
recently, recalls to mind his story of a
wonderful feat which he saw performed
by Alaska Indians during his raft jour
ney of 1,3OO miles down the Yukon
river in 1888. The water of the river at
the point where the incidents occurred
was so muddy that if a tin cup were
filed with it, its bottom could not be
seen. Yet an old man, a squaw or a
child, standing on the bank in front of
the Indian village, would cry out that
salmon was coming up the river, per-
haps from a quarter to third of mile
away. Thereupon some young man
would rush out of the log cabins and,
from his elevated position in front of
them, identify the salmon's position.
Running down the beach, he would
then paddle out in his canoe, being di-
rected in his course by half dozen In
dams on the bank, all shouting advice
to him at the'same time. He evidently
was guided by their directions rather
than by his own power of Wis
ions until the fish was near him.
When he had got his canoe near
the points he desired, he would
regulate its movements by using
the paddle as sculling oar with his
left hand, grasping with his right a
scoop net, the handle of which was nine
or ten feet long. The Indian would !
plunge this to the bottom in front of the |
salmon, often leaning over the canoe
and thrusting his arm far into the water.
OF seven such attempts within three |
hours, which Schwatka saw two were /
entirely successful, while in two others /
the salmon were caught but escaped |
before the net could be raised to the \
surface. The fishes weighed from If
teen to twenty pounds, and the mouth
Of the net was about two square feet in
The Indians tried to point |
out the coming fishes TO the white and
rcd companions of Schwatka, but they
could see nothing. Schwatka's original |
theory was that the salmon, swimming
near the surface, exposed their dorsal
fms until they approached the noe,
where they became frightened and went
20 the bottom, but his interpreters as
Iured him that this was not so and that
ne Fish communicated motion TO the
water even when swimming at the very
POTION. The salmon were taken about
90 or $50 yards from the shore, and
success depended largely on giving the
let "a dexterous twist as soon as the
lsh had entered its mouth, so as TO pre-
ient his escape Chicago Times

4 seao man can be made, out of one that's used-up," bilious and dyspeptic. It's done by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It starts the torpid liver into healthful action, purifies and enriches the blood, cleanses, repairs, and strengthens the system, and restores health and vigor. As an appetizing, restora- tive tonic, it sets at work all the processes of digestion and nutri- tion, and builds up flesh and strength. It's the only Blood and Liver Remedy that's gaaro'ateed, in every case, to benefit or cure. If it doesn't do all that's claimed for it, the money is promptly refunded. But it keeps it's promises - that's the reason it can be sold in this way.
 "Discovery" strengthens Weak Lungs, and. cures Splitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, and kindred affec- tions. Don't be fooled into taking something else, said to be "just as good" that the dealer may make a larger profit. There's nothing at all like the Discovery"
