sea level, and thousands of them are
found here, all of which came from the
sea. The two pictures given here in
all probability show the same fish.
The smaller picture, showing an un-
successful attempt, was taken first.
and as it is seldom that any fish will
give up until the purpose of passing a
fail is accomplished, it is quite posi-
Bile that the one making the successful
attempt, for he went on over and
landed safely above the brink, is the
same fish that failed but short time
before.
Even Bruce's famous spider was not
more persevering than are salmon who
wish to pass an obstacle of this ma ure
between them and their spawning
ground, for it is, of course, to get TO
their nurseries that the fish make
these prodigious efforts. They will

there lie in wait till their energies are

of ascending, they will wait for DAYS

and never get up to spawn at all, lying
in the pool below the fall in numbers
until they grow quite red, and finally
go down to the sea again and recoup
without having accomplished one of
the main objects of their existence,
and the object for which, solely, they
came into fresh water. 1t is rather a
pathetic sight, suggesting many a hui
man life, to see them thus lying help
lessly, mass meeting of the unem-
ployed, in the depths of the pool.
OF course it is a very common and
commonplace remark, that salmon's
leaping power, as shown in the ascent
of such fall as this, is very wonder
full, but what is perhaps seldom taken
into the account is the nature of the
"take-off" that the fish has for his
jump. 1t is this consideration that

The union of the two states is

Swedes appeared in force by land

in spite of all this it was not until

go upward over the smaller falls in
perfect swarms.
The salmon runs on the coast rivers
offer wonderful sight to the fish
lover. The photographs reproduced
with this article offer some idea of the
ability of game fish to ascend rapid
stream. They were taken along the
headwaters of the Thompson river, a
tributary of the Fraser in British Co
lumbia. The Fraser and its tributaries
are among the greatest salmon rivers
of the world. They are ascended every
year by countless thousands of these
gamey fish. They dart through the
rushing torrents in the narrow shutes
in mighty stream, never to return
again. They go up the river to spawn,
and the efforts they make to reach a
point as far up the river as possible are
beyond the Imagination.
The falls shown here are nine feet
high. Below them in the Thompson
are others of a less height The fish
to have reached these falls must have

really seems as if it ought to give the
salmon the palm over the flea, the
grasshopper, and all the rest of them
as jumper, for they at least take off
from solid and a motionless foot
hold. But when you look at the speed
and the force with which the water
comes rushing away from the foot of
fall of any height, you may be dis
posed to wonder in the first place
whether it would be possible for any
fish to swim against such a momentum
of water at all, whether the fish would
not rather be carried down helplessly
with it. And then you have to realize
that what the salmon does is not only
to come rushing up through and
against this raging flood of water, but
actually using this as his leaping
board, so to speak, to take off from, to
jump up from it. in the opposite direc-
ton to its current, nine feet, say, in
the air. When we realize this, it does
seem indeed as if there must be some
very remarkable force in the fish's
tail that can propel its body so great
distance off such swiftly receding
fulcrum, and we are compelled to adj
NIT that the leap of the salmon is
really one of the most astonishing ex-
hibitions in nature of the application
of muscular force.
As / have watched the salmon of the
coast rivers in their attempts to sur
mount these torrents, so have
watched the bass, the pickerel. the
trout of the inland streams A favor
lite resort for this sort of pastime is
in the Muskoka district of Ontario,
where the swift streams dash over fall
after fall. There the small mouth
bass take them seemingly with as
much ease as do the salmon of the
coast, though have never seen them
go so high. The great falls of the
Moon, near where the river empties
into Georgian bay, offers exceptional
opportunities for watching this Won
derful ability of the northern bass. At
times one may watch for an hour or
more without seeing any attempt
made. and then again number of
them may go over the sloping falls
like file of soldiers on drill. -

ner, and does not encourage the peo-
pie to come to his counsel table with
their grievances. Added to this, the
Norwegians feel that their country

casion is of much slighter Importance

elgner as is an American in that
same country; therefore no Swede
participates directly in the govern
ment of Norway. Again none of
the ancient institutions of Norway
are In any way altered by the Act of
Union.
AS in America, the government has
three recognized and distinct
branches. First, there is the execu-
tive, who is the king. In the second
place, there is the legislative branch;
and, lastly, the judicial system. In
both these latter branches Norway
is absolutely Independent of her Sis
ter kingdom. The democracy of the
smaller kingdom is shown by the con-
stitutional clause to the effect that
1.-The people shall exercise the legis-
lative power through the storthing."
which consists of lagthing and an
odelsthlng. 1t is safe to say that in
very few, if any, of even the worlds
republics is it expressly decreed that
1.-The people shall exercise the legis-
lative authority"
The real reason for the dissatis-
faction in Norway does not arise
from anything that is stated in her
fundamental law She made that her
self. The dissatisfaction arises from
the forced union. Norway loves her
independence, such as it is, and wants
1T kept intact; at the same time she
suspects Swedish statesmen of more
ambitious designs. No movement of
any character has yet succeeded in
erecting change. A serious diff
Guilty has however arisen from the
use made of the executive authority.
The government must be represented
abroad. The representative of the
united Kingdoms are appointed by
the king, who is a Swede. Original.
ly, that is back in 1914 and 1915, Nor
way had few or no diplomatic mat
tiers to arrange, with foreign coun
tries. Gradually as these have arisen.
Norway has become imbued with the
idea that it would be more dignifed
and consistent with the spirit of
their free and democratic constitr-
ton, as well as more advantageous
to the commercial interests of the
country, to have her own consuls
and foreign minister. Too long. de-

Justice and Two Attorneys Clash in
 Meriden.
 Meriden, March 19.-Legal tiffs are frequent occurrences in the fraternity of this city, but one took place here last Saturday that discounts all former differences by large margin.
 A case was brought before Justice A. B. Aubrey, and the opposing Gaun- sel were F. J. OBrien and c. J. Dana her. These two lawyers gradually became heated in the course of the pre- liminary talk and began to exchange compliments which were of ques- tionable nature. For this Justice Au- brey conferred rebuke on both gen. tlemen.
 Mir Danaher retaliated by directing his torrent of words at the justice, who. growing angry, ordered the young and irate attorney out of his office The latter refused to go and Aubrey giving away to flow of temper seized the re- bellious lawyer and hurled him over the tops of two chairs. Mir Danaher picked himself up and waa about to come back with a solar plexus blow at Aubrey when the justice picked up a boot-jack as a weapon of offense Danaher's warmth of expression continued and the justice ordered him to control his speech. at the same time threatening to fine him for contempt of court. The lawyer refused to soothe his angry passions and defied Aubrey to do his worst Thus goaded to a display of his authority the justice fined Danaher S7 and costs and sen. fenced him to 30 days in jail Coupled with this announcement ht ] appealed to Constable Duis, who wa. standing in the office, to arrest Dana her and take him away.
