The patrolman took him to the station
house and wanted to lay charge Of
vagrancy against Cook, but after a
careful perusal of the statutes. Lieut..
Scott found that he could not hold a
'possirm on that charge. but he did dis
cover that the little fellow could be
held on the charge of being a vicious
minor, so mere he Is. That Cook is
vicious is well attested by the way he
exhibits his teeth, and he is continual

SHOOTING FISH ON THE WING.
Sport That Southern California Waters
Alone Offer to the Gunner


Flushing fish, like covey of quail
and shooting them on the wing may
sound like fairy tale" said a sport
ing tourist, but 1t isn't, and II any
one wants to enjoy such sport as he
never had before let him go to south
ern California waters. The best shoot
ing grounds for fish on the wing are
off Santa Catalino island. Nowhere
else in the world are there such flights
OF flying fish. And nowhere else in
the world, guess, is flying fish shoot
ing recognized sport.
The usual method of hunting the fly.
ing fish at Santa Cataline is to go in a
steam launch and cruise along quar-
ter of mile or so from the beach.
The screw of the boat alarms the fish,
and they rise from the depths and into
the air with a suddenness and a dash
that on the tyro has the same effect
that the flushing in front OF him of a
covey of quail would have.
They rush along in rapid fight. or
what seems to be flight, moving low,
like quail, rising and falling over the
swells and waves, sweeping through
the air in graceful curves, and offer
ing what at first would seem TO be an
easy mark to the gun, but which the
inexperienced gunner for flying fish
would find to be quite another thing.
Sometimes half dozen or more Of
the fish will rise at once some on one
side of the boat, some on the other,
and some ahead Of it, They fly much
faster than the boat goes. and it must
be good shot who fetches down four,
to the right and left. before the school
drops into the sea again, an eighth of
a mile away."-Sun.
