INTELLIGENCE OF FISH.
Method In Their Movements as De-
scribed by an Interested
Observer.

An hour later, says Arthur Henry, in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, we
were standing by one of the glass tanks
watching hundreds of little fish. an
inch long and half as wide, darting
about the rocks covered with a beauti-
full green sea-weed, like a growth of
tender shrubbery, They were "stort
minnows," brilliant with all the lines
of purple and blue, with now and then
a CLINT of salmon as they turned swiftly
in the light.
Watch them closely" said Prof.
Dalghren, land you will notice that
there are five of them on guard over
five different localities. Each one of
these is male protecting a nest con-
cealed in the region where he swims."
At once the spectacle became intel
ligible to me. 1t was no longer an aim.

terested only for their flashing and
glowing tints. One of them was
guarding the pebbles on the bottom.
in one corner. He was the only
watcher in that section of the tank,
and the most incessant activity was
necessary. He was not given a mo-
ment's pause. Hundreds of his fell
lows lowered over and around him
were constantly slipping into his do
main. As he darted with open mouth
ait those about him, Others would
shoot from one side, or whisk out of
a clump of weeds, at a little dis
lance, and begin at once to nose
among the pebbles, in search of eggs,
Instantly the guard was upon them
and routing them out: He would
shoot off again to dispense those de-
scending.
In another section, the other four
guards were similarly at work, but
the task was easier for them as their
nests were close together and they
worked in unison. Each of these had
but one side from which attack could
come. The other sides were protect
ed by the operations of his compan-
ions. Every moment of the "a hours.
night and day, without an instant's
rest or let up, these guards are at
their defense. The moment the fe-
males of a harem lay their eggs, the
male takes charge and drives even
the mothers away; which indicates
that they might devour their own
eggs. A guard has never been known
TO violate his nest nor to disturb an
others. They trust each other i'm
plicitly. One guard never attacks an
other, even though they often col

Mrs. Goddard laughed uneasily.

along the deck, now holding so or 60
passengers, most of whom, with seri-
Gus eyes, were regarding the crowd
assembled below. AT last the gong
which was the signal for those who
were not to sail to 60 ashore-was
sounded, and Goddard grew actually
white as he clutched his wife's hand.
"Are you seasick?" she tested.

she said. 'Now kiss me and 60"
AS he went down the gang plank he
had to hold to the railing to be sure
of his foothold. Reaching the pier, he
stood in the ranks along the waters
edge, his eyes glued to single face
on the deck of the ship, which was be-
ginning to move. An old woman near
him, who was waving a farewell to
her daughter, was sobbing aloud; he
felt like crying, too, and but for the
smiling cOuntenance he adOred he
might have done so. He was the last
to leave the pier. When the Cleopatra
had vanished from sight he started
homeward. The difference between
his condition and that of his wife was
that she felt as if she were just en-
tering a state of freedom, while he
had sold himself into bondage, of
body and soul.
1t was five o'clock in the afternoon

heard Blanche singing as she sat at

AS Ia the judiciary department of a

State We find two sets of judges. and
two sets OF courts. In Territory where
there is no legislature and where only
one set of laws governs, we ind only
one set OF courts. Where there are
Federal and Territorial courts. appeals
may be taken from them to the higher

another form just authorized for Porto

where an appeal can be taken from
the Territorial to the Federal courts.
Then we have a fourth kind in Ha-

"One thing that Congress has granted
to Hawaii which has never before been
granted to any other Territory Ia that
the Governor is entitled to call upon
the Army and Navy of the United
States for assistance, to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus, and declare
martial law. This is because we are 80
far away from the Mainland. The
United States has left the control OF
the land laws in the hands OF the Ter
ritorial Government. That Is another
thing never before granted; they have
always heretofore rested in the control
of the National Government. We are
to control all the revenue derived from
the public lands Of Hawaii
Further, all the officers are to be
selected from among persons who are
bona fide citizens of these islands.
That is provision against carpet
bagging. The President is not going
to send lot of men among us to see
what they can make out of us.
II want to remind you that this is
the most liberal and most advanced
Territorial Act that Congress has ever
passed. 1t brings us nearer to state
hood than Congress has ever made pos
sible to any other acquired territory.
The President, Congress and the peo-
Pile, have taken an unusual interest in
Hawaii, and 1t behooves us to maintain
a pure and efficient government, gov
eminent we can take pride in, and we
will prove to the people of the United
States that Hawaii is worthy of state
