A SPLINTER OF THE SEA.
Mile a Minute Is Just Easy Jogging
for the Tuna of the Pacific.

Irving Wright. one of the most sue
cessful fishermen in this region, has just
returned home from that fishers para
disc, Santa Catalina island, and stands
sponsor for a tuna story which gives
some idea of the wonderful swimming
power of the big Pacific game fish.
Very few tunas had been caught up
to the time / left he said, but one of
those which wasn't caught taught me
something that makes me wonder still.
Tunas. according to the Catalina fisher
men, can sprint under water something
like 900 feet in four and half seconds
That is q fact that has been recorded
time and again as one of the big fell
lows was taking cut the line from the
reel. The tuna can, If he feels like it.
give odds to the fastest express trains in
the world.
THE day saw Mr.. Tuna 1 was out
foa' black bass in a naD.tha launch
There was little 'spat' in the water a
few rods off, and flying fish bounced
out on flight through the air. He had
just barely cleared the water when there
was an angry swirl right under his tail
That tuna is after the flying fish,
said the man who was with me-
g tBosh. said /; he might as well give
it up. The tuna can't keep track of d
flying fish
comDanion.
"Then we looked at the flying fish.
Now, I don't want to say how far that
flying fish actually went in the air. Peo-
pie say that they're capable of doing d
half-mile fight. This one apparently
came pretty near it.
"A flying fish doesn't have to go back
into the water at the end of his flight.
either. He merely comes down on the
water, kicks it and is off again OF
course, he can't keep that up thou
sand years but it's wonderful how far
he can go. This little chap made a
beautiful flight, and when he came down
he hit the water a neat little slap and
went off again at a sharp angle on tie
second fight.
He had barely got out of the water
when old Mr.. Tuna kicked up a big
swirl right under him. We were on tip
toes then. The flying fish made q second
fight almost as good as his first, and
then spun off again, like a well-thrown
clam shell in a skippingmatch. But
again there was a swirl under him just
after he started. He made five flights
from the time we first saw him, and
every time he started he changed his
direction.
But the tuna wasn't doing his chas-
ing for fun alone. He was looking for
that flyer to fill a greedy stomach And
just as the little chap was beginning his
sixth flight in a dazed, frightened way,
he was grabbed and drawn under. =

nations Have No Standing.

Harrisburg. Pa, Oct. 1e.-The Dauphin
county court today declared invalid the

Democratic and Republican tickets The

in the interest of Robert E. Pattison the
Democratic nominee, but it was captured
by friends of ex-Judge Pennypacker, the
Republican candidate and the dispute was
brought to the court in this city for set
tlement.
