Fish fiatched in the Sky

observe a reference made in the Ameri-
can Angler touching upon showers of fish,
in which it states that science has not yet
fully explained the phenomena. This is
perhaps slightly incorrect. Several causes
have been suggested. Might it not very
probably be that fish and frogs which fall
apparently from the skies are really bred
there?
Water fowl, it is known. very frequently
carry eggs of fish to great distance, hay-
ing swallowed them. and IN their fight
disgorge the same unharmed where they
can and do fructify and mature in water
over which these birds pass. The eggs of
many old fish are very elutnous, and read
lily adhere to substances brought in con-
tact with them during particular times
of their Incubation. 1t is very probable
that these birds convey ova upon
their wings, as we'll as in their
crops, and when flying at great heights the
ova, becoming detached from the wings,
may remain suspended in the moist at
mosphere, which is quite possible under
certain conditions Of atmospherical pres
sure, and that when under development
they become too heavy and naturally fail
to the eerth.-Nature's Realm.

THE PROHIBITION QUESTION
Already Interests Citizens and Voters at
RedIands
The High License People Have No Program
Ready, and the Prohlbs Are Active.
General Notes

REDLANDs, March 5.-Election mat
ters are beginning to be felt here at
present. At the election in April two
city trustees, city marshal and city
clerk are to be elected by the votes of
Redlanders. Since the installation of
the present board of trustees Rsdlands
has been favored with saloon, which
pays the city treasury $4,000 a year,
but the license was granted upon a
vote of three to two. A big fight is to
be made now, as one high-license trus-
tee and one Prohibition trustee, name
ly, Glover and Fowler, are to SO out.
Mayor Glover says he will not be a
candidate again, but Trustee Fowler
would not hesitate TO honor the Pro-
hibition ticket with his name again
He will undoubtedly be nominated at
the "cold water" convention Friday
night and Ben Pierson may possibly
receive the other nomination. For city
marshal Howard Andrews will bs the
only ca 'didate named by the Prohibs,
and the present city clerk, Il. w. Clark,
will receive the plum for that office.
So far the high license people have no
definite names to present for trustees.
M. F. Pierce and J. E. Wallace are 60
ing hard for the marshalship, with A.
G. Kendall, the present marshal, on
their trail. AS things now stand indi-
cations are that Saturday nights con-
vention will be satisfied with Pierce
For clerkship there will be but little
opposition to L. w. Clark, the incum-
bent. He has had the office for eight
years.
j. A. Byrne has about closed his bus
ness here and will move to Los An
geles next week, where he intends to
accept a situation in wholesale
house.
w. r. Gillies has returned from a
three days visit to relatives in Santa
Monica.
Irwin Runyeon is building a neat
residence on Caion street.
The Redlands baseball management
is figuring on q game with the colored
Trilby team of Los Angeles, to be
PLAYED here shortly.
Work has been commenced on the
new sewer on Orange street, which will
run from Cotton avenue to the Santa
Fe railroad.
