sembleG at Electric Park, Palmetto
Beach. was seen there last night. 1t
consisted of between 1900 and 1900
persons, and notwithstanding this i'm
mense crowd it was handled in an
admirable manner by the Terminal
Company. During the afternoon vari-
Gus sports were witnessed and were
greatly enjoyed. An excellent pro-
gram had been arranged and was car

The PLYING Fsh.

The flying fish when in the air uses
fits pectoral fms precisely as a boy does
a kite, the weight OF the flsh's body
taking the place of the string. As a
boy runs when he lets kite go, so the
flying fish makes a preliminary rush
through the water before ascending
into the air. In this way as il leaves
the surface air impinges upon the low
er area Of the On wings, carrying the
body upward and onward with a gid
ing motion. The anatomical structure
Of the flying fish is such that it cannot
flap its wings and 50 It possesses
little or no guiding power when in
flight. This accounts for the fact that
it frequently finds its way through
ships open ports or down skylights or
lands helplessly upon deck.

 w keep on writing plainly in a 8E& land where freedom of speech
 M MN is held crime. The English periodical, Literature" in
 an article on Russia and Her Prophets" so well suggests Rus sia's attitude, towards her men of letters we are tempted to quote at length from the very interesting paper. "A rigid su- pervision and control of men of letters has long been the recognized Russian equivalent of the policy of stoning the prophets Erudition is allowed by the government of the tsars, but the divine gift of the imagination has hardly ever failed to gets its possessor into trouble. Pushkin was banished to some place in the remote country. Schevchenko was sentenced to serve as a private soldier on seek safety in flight. Dostoieffski was exiled to Siberia and knouted. Korolen- sko was condemned to spend three years in a frozen Yakut village. Tolstoi was. but lately communicated. And now there is the case of Gorki. turned out of St. Petersburg, kept out of Moscow, and only allowed to winter in the Crimea on condition that he does not visit Yalta, to be added to the list"
 In spite of the above mentioned treat ment by Russia of her literary men, compared with the journalists they have much the better show. Explanation of this is given in the article just quoted from, and is as follows: The novelist who writes whole book to convey an idea which the journalist could crystal lize in a paragraph has obviously bet ter chance of running the gauntlet. They do not, of course, write novels with pur- poses after the style of the late Charles Reade. To do that would be to give themselves over, bound hand and foot, into the enemy's hands. It is enough for them to drop hints. The censor is puzzled, there is nothing for him to lay hold upon. and he does not wish to pose as the implacable enemy of literature. So the novelist is allowed to SOW the seed, but gets into trouble when the crop comes to maturity.
 George Kennan. writing in the Out look. calls attention to the extent to which journalism is held down in the realm of the czar. He refers to the fact that in the last few years 26 newspapers and periodicals have been suppressed there. to use his words directly, 5O1 ad ministrative punishments less severe than absolute suppression. including suspensions that amount in the aggre- gate to nearly half a century. In the light of these figures, we quite believe our English contemporary when it de- clares imaginative literature is the only medium in Russia for making fair and reasonable comments on matters of pub lie interest.
 Perhaps boldest, most fearless of all Russian writers is Tolstoi, who, from

FEED RACK FOR SHEEP.
Description of One Which Has Stood
 the Test of Use and Proved Its Value.

Some of our new subscribers desire . description of a good feed rack for sheep
 Here is one described in this paper about this time last year. says the Prairie Far mer. This ic very important subject in connection with the care of sheep, in- asmuch as it has to do not only with the economical use of the feed grown on the farm, but also with keeping the fleece of the sheep clean and in marketable condition. No form of rack should be used for the feeding of any kind of feed containing chaff or dirt that will per init the sheep to po.e it's head into the feed or that wiH allow the chaff, dirt or broken leaves to filter through cracks and fall onto the sheep. Any such dirt
