How a Fish Breathes.

The gills of a fish are situated at
the back part of the sides and con-
sist of a number of vascular mem
branes, which are generally arrang-
ed in double, fringe like rows, at
tached to the parts by the base only.
In some cases these membranes are
feather shaped, in others mere
folds attached to the sides of the
gill cavities. The fish IS a cold
blooded ani1nal-that is to say, ITS
temperature is seldom more than a
degree or two higher than the wa
ter in which it lives. This being
true, the creature needs but very
small amount of oxygen to keep the
blood at temperature sufficiently
high to sustain life. This oxygen
supplied to the blood of the fish
by respiring large quantities OF wa
ter, or, rather, drinking large guam
titles of water, and respirlng the alt
separated from it by the gllls. This
explains why a fish can not live IN
a tank of water which has been slit
ed through the gil1s time and time
again any better than a human be-
ing or other animal can in air that
has been deprived of all its oxygen
by being taken into lungs and expel-
led without being aerated. Fish
that die in the stale water OF aqua
RUINS may be properly said to
drown, because they perish for want
of air, the same thing which occas,

A DOUBLE LEGAL TRAGEDY.
Burrows and Williams Hanged at
Kingstree Convicted Of Numbering
Mr.. Julian Wilson.

Jenkins Burrows and Arthur
Williams were legally hanged at
Kingstree on Friday for the murder
of Mr.. Julian Wilson, on October
II, last. The sheriff c11t the rope
which held the trap at fourteen
minutes past IL o'clock, and the
bodies shot downard, nine feet,
bringing up with a sickening thud.
Williams neck was broken by the
fall, and he ceased struggling in a
few moments. Burrows died from
strangulation. On the gallows and
in the presence of great crowd,
they told the same story that they
told on their trial. In an even
steady voice Jenkins Burrows said:
"Bear this in mind. I stand for the
last time on earth. When you get
to Heaven look at the right hand
of Jesus and you will find me.
Give my body to be buried among
my own people. I am perfectly
willing to meet my God. | don't
know whether Robert Scott is gull
ty or not, as l was not there. Meet
me in Heaven"
Arthur Williams said: God
knows I am not guilty. Robt. Scott
and Jenkins are guilty. They told
different tales on me. [ went to the
store that night to get some cheese
and when I came out | met Scott

Both Of them were interrogated
in an effort to get a confession
from them as to Scott. After their
statements a negro minister ascend
ed the gallows, and offered an ear
nest and appropriate prayer. The
black caps were then adjusted, the
sheriff sprung the trap and Julian
Wilson was avenged by the law:

Rain Coat for a Bear.

There is one big brown bear IN
New York that gets coddled beyond
belief. He belongs to Six avenue
furrier. He is not a live bear.
Even the memory of the oldest pas
seneer ON the elevated road goeth
not back to the time Of that bears
demise: yet, inspite of his long Pc
riod as dead one," he is the sleek
est, best groomed bear in New York
That is because the tu:<rler takes
such good care Of him.
Storms are never allowed to beat
upon his glossy coat. He can not be
llurnored to the extent Of being
brought indoors during a down
pour because it is his busl-
ness to stand on a pedestal out
side and drum up the trade:
but the next best thing is done TOT
him. He is provided with a rain
coat. 1t covers him from snout tc
tail: so, no matter how hard the
rain may beat or the wind may blow
he is insured from damage thereby

ROOSEVELT AS A RED MAN.
The President Becomes an honorary
Member of the Secret Order OF tnat
Name.

President Roosevelt was made an
honorary member Of the Improved
Order of Red Men. The ceremony
took place in the presidents private
office at the White House, and was
participated in and witnessed by
many promifent members of the
order.
The national officers of the or
eanization called at the White
House to present to the president
an engrossed set of resolutions
adopted at the national convention
of the order at Nashville, Iennes-
see, last September, commendatory
of the presidents efforts toward
bringing about peace between } a.
Dan and Russia. The testimonial
was presented by Judge Robert l.
Daniel, of Griffin, Georgia, past
great incohonee, in laudatory ad-
dress. Among those present at the
ceremony were Representatives
Livingston. Bartlett and Bell, OF
Georgia.
, President Roosevelt made a fe-
licitous reply to the address OF
Judge Daniel, expressing his hlgh
appreciation of the objects OF the
| Improved Order of Red Men, and
his thanks for the cordial regards
stated in the testimonial.
A desire was then expressed that
the president be made an honorary
member of the order. The pres1-
dent assented to the suggestion and

" at the same time and place until
the end of the session occurring IN
1906, after which the said sessions
shall be held at the same time and
place bienniallv.
Under this provision the first ses-
sion of the General Assembly after
the session of 1906 would be held
in the year 1903, and this being the
case under Article ", Section 2, OF
the Constitution, the Governor and
other State officers to be elected IN
the year 1906 could not be installed,
and could not enter upon the per-
formances of their duties until the
year 1908. This, we think, is ex-
tremely inexpedient and harmful,
and if biennial sessions of the Gen.
eral Assembly are to be held, we
would advise that the first session
Hereunder be held in the year 1907,
and to that end we submit herewith
draft of bill to so provide.
We would further suggest that If
the proposed amendment to Article
iii, Section 9, Of the Constitution,
be adopted that Article ", Section
10 be amended by striking out the
word f'annuar' therein; also amend
Article V, Section II, so as to pre-
NIT the Governor to fill any vacancy
in the judiciary by appointment ur-
til the next session of the General
Assembly; also amend Article X
Section 2, in reference to deficiency
in the fund of the State for any year
and providing for levying tax sui
ficient to meet same at the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly.
We submit herewith, as a Rart OF
this report, such bills as we think
proper and necessary to effect all
charges in the Constitution whlch
would be rendered necessary by a
change from annual to biennial ses.
sions of the general assembly, and
recommend that the general assem-
bly, do not ratify the amendment
heretofore voted on, but. that
the bill for the same be laid on
tie table and that the bills here
with submitted be considered IN
lieu thereof.

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.
Fatal Blunder Was Committed in not En-
tering the Amendment on the Journal
of the HOuSe.

The following is the report OF the
special legislative committee charg-
ed with ;rquiring into the entire
biennial session situation. The re-
port is complete and reads as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable, the Senate
and House of Representatives
The Undersigned committees OF
the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives respectively, to whom
tive respectively, to whom were re-
fered the matter of the ratification
were referred them after of ratlfi-
cation of the amendment to the
Constitution providing for biennial
sessions of the General Assembly,
would respectfully report.
That pursuant to the resolutions
under which said committees were
appointed, the two committees met
in Joint session in the city of Column
bia on the 18th day of December,
1905, and again on the 9th and 10th
of January, 1906, and thoroughly
considered the matter.
The Constitution of South Car
olina (1so5,) in Article XVI, Sec
ton I, provides that "any amend
ment or amendments to this Constl-
tuition may be proposed in the Sen
ate or House of Representatives.
If the same be agreed to by two
thirds of the members elected TO
each house, such amendment or
amendments shalt be entered on the
Journals respectively, with the yeas
and nays taken thereon.
Article I, Section 2o, provides
that:
"The provisions of the Constitu-
ton shall be taken, deemed and con-
strued to be mandatory and prohlb1-
tory, and not merely directory, ex-
cept where expressly made direc-
tory or permissory by its own
terms.
We find that the amendment pro-
yiding for biennial sessions of the
General Assembly, proposed by the
General Assembly, under the bill
IS. 20, Mr.. Warren, H. 278,) was
not entered on the Journal of the
House Of Representatives, though
the yeas and nays were taken there
on, and that under the provisions OF
the Constitution above cited the
amendment has never been properly
proposed by the General Assembly
and submitted to the people.
By reference to the Journal OF
the House of Representatives it ap-
pears that the bill was read the, hrst
time and referred to the committee
on judiciary, its title only appearing
in the Journal. (House Journal
1903, P. 2oo.)
The bill was reported by the
cornmitte, by its title only, and ord
cred for consideration. (House

THE MEANING OF 1T.

The expenditure of $4,000 in direct
improvement of its plant in this city, by
the Astoria Electric Company, during
the year 1906, is very significant. IL
means that the company has implicit con-
fidence in the city and its future; that
this investment will respond handsomely
in the way Of ordinary profit to which
all businesses are entitled; that all the
excess power, for heating, lighting and
mechanical application the company may
have attained by the Improvements this
sum stands for, will be utilized by an
increasing population that will bring
with it the industries employing such
power; that Astoria is growing, not
standing still; that she is accumulating
steadily, along all lines that make for
municipal expansion in enlightened and
successful channels; and this conclusion
reached, and proven, by one of its heav-
lest local enterprises, should be comfort
ing to the Astorian with an honest in
terest in her welfare. That the company
has expended this big amount of money
with view to reaping rich returns from
tn investment, does not disqualify it as
an accurate judge Of the conditions that
invited it.

SEASIDE TO TILLAM00K.

$50 away from home to hear the
newsl" is an apt enough old adage, yet
not over popular with newspapers at
home, but in the matter of the press
despatch of yesterday morning, announc-
ing the early start on the Tillamook ex-
tension of the Hammond line south from
Seaside, it is entirely acceptable and We
rejoice. with all Astorians, in the report.
It was told us ten days ago that the
Astoria & Columbia people would have
to get a move on, or suffer the inter-
position of certain resoureeful agencies
in this same project and it looks as II the
statement we're true. But be that as it
NAV, the fact that the matter has been
determined and the immediate prosecu-
ton of the work provided for, is the one
essential and satisfactory conclusion. We
believe that the new link will pay, from
the laying of it's first mile, and that
every mile laid win increase the ratio
of certain profits for the company. There
is an endless chain of development
awaiting the forging at energetic hands
through all the section lying dormant
between Tillamook City and Astoria ;
the logging, milling, dairying' farming
and fishing interests inherent to the ter,
ritory, are immense, and need only the
yiyifying touch of such an enterprise tc
quicken them into widespread activity
II will be an incalculable advantage 70:
the people of Tilamook county in open
ing for them a swift and ready outlet
for the abundant products that suffer
for want of prompt transportation te
outside depots and markets; and it will
benefit Astoria distinctly because Astoria
is, and will be for some time to come
the very depot and market for it all. We
do not believe, for moment, that the
line will stop at Tillamook for any
length of time; we are certain the exi
gencies of railway strategy in Oregon
will make it imperative for the exten'
sion TO be continued to connection witt
the Corvallis & Eastern at point some
where in the vicinity of Nashville OF
Blodgett, in order to perfect direct coas'
communication with the terminals that
line is destined to touch in the neal
future. Whatever view may be taken ot
the possibilities of the new line, it hold
enough of promise to make the people
hereabout sincerely glad it is to be hur
ried to completion, and we will cheris!
the alluring covenant until fruitioT
crowns our anticipation, or failure find
lis out as usual.

MAKE IT THE BEST EVER!

The coming regatta at Astoria should
be made the best ever given here, for the
simple reason that such events are al
ways supposed to improve with exper-
ience and repetition; and this is the
twelfth of Astoria's ventures in this line.
The committee must remember one thing
and that is, that no surplus money is
required at their hands after the balance
sheet is struck. What has been given
for the regatta was given to be ex-
pended in making it entirely successful,
and the idea that an unexpended sum is
necessary or desirable as an asset, is
ridiculous, and would not be appreciated
one-half as much as a deficit, to be COW
cred by later subscriptions, if only the
event is pulled off with eclat and general
success. Spend the 5000 you have; gen.

SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.

The Portland oregonian, in conformity
with its utterly selfish policy of never
saying a word that might be construed
as aiding the city of Astoria in any OF
its enterprises, was silent as the grave
yesterday in the matter of the early
prosecution Of the Astoria 1 Columbia
River Railroad extension from Seaside to
Tillamook City, although its evening
echo of Friday had an extended account
of the project and its bearing on the
cuastwise trade. 1t was peculiarly no.
tictable, because the citizens of this city
who daily read the 0regonian looked to
it columns for confirmation and COM
ment anent the important news. There
can be no doubt that the Oregonian is in
possession of larger detail on the sub
ject than any newspaper in the state;
it a its business 10 know such things,
and its further and better business to
publish them; but it will trangress any
and all its rules. as great journal,
rather than say or do thing that might
contribute morsel OF encouragement to
this community. 'Tis the same old fear
OF Astoria. The dread, and disfavor. with
which it contemplates anything that will
raise Astoria toward commercial suprem-
acy in Oregon, for it realizes that such
an impetus, once given this city and
port, means grave detriment to the me-
tropolis; and the mania begotten of this
ceaseless dread, has made it at nearly
silly as such influential papers ever get
to be. Well. if the 0regonian can stand
/ it, we can; only there is something pitt
full about it that one hates to couple
with such paper as that.
