Bluetish. one of the cheapest and
best staples at this time. is almost
absent from the market. Fishermen
cannot explain why the bluefsh seem
TO have forsaken the waters adjacent
to New York. 1t may be due. they
say. to the cold spring and the long
continued winds early in the season.
The catch of blues started hereabouts
in satisfactory numbers, but suddenly
they shifted of the coast to other
quarters not to return. Bluehsh from
cold storage are bringing as high as
IL cents a pound, which is more than

San Bernardino, Cal.-Dr. John Col

er Of speech by a fall from a street
car. He was alighting from a street
car with an armful Of books, when he
slipped, sustaining painful bruises, He
walked a few steps, when some ons
questioned him as to his injuries, and
when he tried to respond no audible
sound escaped his lips. Speeches., he
hurried to his fathers home, where an
examination disclosed that his vocal
cords were indamed and swollen.
This result is a mystery to him, az
his head did not come in contac.

cases are very rare. The attending
surgeons are mystihed and have or
