The steamer Claudine was recently
attacked by flying fish in the Hawaii
channel between the islands of Hawaii
and Maui. says Honolulu correspond
ent of the New York Herald. The
searchlght on the vessel evidently at
tracted and angered the fish. A large
school of the fish suddenly rose out of
the water and instead of flying away
from the boat. as is usually the case
with that variety Of fish. they flew over
the bow of the craft One of them flew
directly for the light and broke the
glass, putting the light out of commits
sion. A dozen fish reached the upper
bridge of the vessel. and two struck
the side of the man on watch, nearly
knocking him over
1t has been noted by island captains
that the searchlights seem to affect the
flying fish in a very strange way. The
fish evidently do not like the bright
light cast upon the waters, for they in
variably fly ut the light, probably in an
effort TO extinguish it after the fash
ion of moths trying to eXtinguish a
candle.

Designs For the Ribbons.
To crafty the pride and stimulate
the ambition of the soldiers of the reg
ular army the general staff has issued
an order requiring veterans of the
Spanish war. the Philippine insurrec-
ton and the Picking relief expedition to
wear bronze medals as part of their
uniform on dress parade and occasions
of ceremony, says William E. Curtis,
the Chicago Record Herald's Washing
ton correspondent. This will give the
boys something to be proud of. The
general staff also provided a special
badge to be worn by soldiers of the
regular army who have been awarded
what is known as the certificate of
merit This certificate Is bestowed up
on enlisted men who have distinguished
themselves for good conduct, gallantry
and soldierly qualities. 1t is not SO
high as the medal of honor, but is very
much priced and entities the holder to
80 month extra pay.
Secretary Taft has ordered similar
medals for veterans of the civil war
and the Indian wars under similar reg
ulations. These medals are not for
volunteers, but for regulars only.
After receiving and rejecting various
designs submitted by officers of the
army, artists and other persons inter-
ested, Quartermaster General Hum
phrey has placed the entire response
bility of securing designs and super
vising the casting of the medals on
Frank d. Millet. the well known artist,
who has submitted drawings for all the
six badges, and they have been approx
ed by the secretary of war. The dies

done at the Phila delphia mint under

at least three years, but during all his
days of affliction he was never heard
to complain or to murmur, but on the
other hand expressed a desire to de-
part this life. His only regret ex-
pressed was to leave his aged and life
long companion. When his days on
earth was fulfilled he passed over the
river of death without a struggle.
May the Lord by His grace and Spirit
sustain and comfort the bereft mother
and family.
The funeral was conducted by the
