The selection of a speaker of the
next House of Assembly is attracting
a great deal of interest just now.
Since Senator Colby has taken a hand
in the matter the interest is doubled.
Here is what ''~Freeholder" in the
New York Press says:
''If the Public Service Corporation
has any hold on Assemblyman Rob-
bins he should not be elected speak
er. If the Essex members are aware
of any such grip they ought to vote
against him in the republican caucus.
The same reason applies in the case
of Perkins, who would be majority
leader. If neither is adorned with
the collar of the Trolley Trust and
can hold up his head and say he is
not a slave to the corporate power,
there can be little objection to adj
vancing them to the honors they
seek. Then "by their fruits we shall
know them" and their political fu-
ture must be measured accordingly"

to be successful. Efforts are now being
made to find q substitute for the rogue
The bait is used solely for the purpose OF
drawing the sardine shoals to the surface,
when they can be Melted without difficulty.
So far the most successful substitute has
proved to be q high-power acetylene lamp,
which some fishermen declare to be most
efficacious. The method has not, however
been submitted to full tests, tnasmuch as
none Of the proprietors of sardine vessels
appear to be able to afford such an expen-
sve luxury Strong endeavOrs to break the
trust which controls the bait supplies have
so far met with complete failure, and as a
result of the trusts extortion the sardine
industry is In danger of disappearing COM
pletely. and many thousand families are On

He claims to have obtained some valuable
scientific results and to have established the
fact that monkeys communicate by words,
not by signs. In letter to his brother at
Sydney recently he wrote:
Here are few spelt phonetically:
'Achru.' meaning water. rain, cold;
'kukcha.' meaning sun, fire, warmth. etc. /;
'goshku meaning food, the act of eating.
