whales swim long Distances.

Whales that swim about the islands
which lie off the coasts Of Norway and
Finland in March and April, travel i'm
mense distances. In May they turn up
at the Azores, or even at the Bermu

Antilles. They swim fast, for in June
they are back again off Norway. Some
Of these whales have been known to
bring back evidences of where they
have been, for harpoons of the pecu

Some Of the taxidermists at Bangor
have been 10 the habit of buying moose
snd deer heads of sportsmen and market
men who did not care to have them
mounted, for a small price, and after
moaning them, sell them at good price.
That seems to be legitimate proceeding,
but the game commissioners say they
have no right to do so, and the practice
must stop. This will shut of quite an
item OF income for those who shoot the
game or those who buy it for the market.
The taxidernists are not licensed to deal
10 skins or heads, only to mount them for
others, but as those who sheet the game
have right TO sell it, or any part OF it,
and there doesn't appear to be any law to
prevent anybody from buying who want,
to, it isn't exactly clear how the commiss-
toner's can forbid it, The object is to
head off those who shoot deer and moose
for the sake of what they can sell them
for. The Office, is good one enough
but it hits all the sportsmen as well as the
ones it is aimed at, allowing that The lau
