DO FISH REALLY FLY?
OPINIONS OF EXPERTS DIFFER
One Says Fins Simply Act as Aero.
planes-Another Claims That
They Move Swiftly as Winas.

Two papers on the eternal flying FISH
problem have appeared almost simui
~taneously, and express widely diverse
views. says the London Field.
In the n published in the Jahrbuch
of the Austrian geological survey. Dr.
Abel, after describing the various
kinds of fossil flying fish. concludes
that neither the typical flying fish or
the flying gunards cver use their pect.
toral fins as active organs of flight.
On the contrary, the initial impetus by
means of which these fishes are
launched into the air is due entirely 10
powerful, screw.likc movements of tEC
tail fin, and this impetus is sufficient
to carry them to the end Of their Jour.
ney. the wings" acting merely as par.
achutes. In other words the flight is
precisely similar 10 that Of Il Hat stone

In h second paper, published In
the January number of the Annals and
Magazine of Natural history, the an.
thor, Col. G. ID. Durnford. takes the
precisely opposite view, maintaining,
on mechanical grounds. hat the aero

called, is an absolute physical impos
sibility, oN Wing 10 the fact that tn"
wing surface Is far too small in pre-
portion to the size and weight of the
body to sustain the fish during As

This being admitted, the only alter.
native Is to suppose that the wings
are moved with an exceedingly rapid
Migratory motion throughout the whole
flight, and are thus, after the first in

The author further maintains nat the

 ROADWAY
Chihuahua Hill Property 0wn- CTS to Discuss Proposed
 R. Street Widening,
t TfIv~

Property ow.lers whose property atuts on tre proposed new roadway along Chihuahua Hill have agreed to hold meeting on Saturday evening to decide whether they really want
 the proposed roadway, if so, where il
 is to be run and to discuss generally
 the details of the proposition to i'm
 prove the present. trail through the
 district named, The place of the rect
 ins Is assigned as the council cham-
 Der in the city hall. w. B. Cleary
 has agreed to address the meeting Cn
 behalf of the promoters of the scheme.
 It will be remembered that the
 proposition to widen and grade Chi
 huahua Hill trail, from a point at its
 juncture with O. K. street to Young
 Blood Hill was recently put before
 the property owners in that section of the city in the form of a petition. l Those residing, or owning property on
 the lower side of the trail were una
 nimous in their approbation of the scheme. but the petition met snag
 when presented to the owners of prop erty on the upper side of the trail. 1 This latter division demanded that before signing the petition the city l should survey the proposed roadway and arrive at the exact location of the 1 lines of the proposed roadway. This
 met with prompt refusal unofficialiy l on the part of Acting Mayor Hughes and Councilman Morris, who both took the stand that the city would by such action be mourning an expense | which might prove to be useful in the face of future developments.
 Undaunted by the obstacles pre- scented, Chairman Thompson, of the committee on better streets of the Chamber of Commerce, and B. Caretto
 the men who have had the project in
 hand since it's inception. again went
 to work on the property owners with the result that Saturday nights meet ing will be held.
 In the election of Attorney w B. Cleary to address the meeting the
 promoters of the project are to be congratulated, as this gentleman is a forceful, eloquent speaker who will bring the matter before the property owners in a light that will be nothing | if not fairly presented and intended for the best interests of all concerned. It is expected that the meeting will be attended by nearly every property owner on Chihuahua Hill who might possibly be benefited by the proposed
 roadway and the meeting promises to
 be a most enthusiastic one.
 Should the property owners decide
 to ask as body the city for the sur vey there is little doubt that the sur vey will be promptly made and the project set on foot at the earliest | moment.

Work definitely commenced this week proves what has long been ru- mored-fhat Alamogordo will soon cease to be a terminal on the east ern division of the Southwestern, and that Carrizozo will be the new term inal
 Work started yesterday at both Car rizozo and Alamogordo shows that :he change is to be made and that as soon as possible. At Alamogordo workmen yesterday commenced tearing down the roundhouse, in preparation, it is said, for moving it to CarriZozo. while at the latter place a grading outfit is at work leveling of the land for the necessary side tracks, buildings, etc, necessary for the terminal, says the Fl Paso Herald.
 By this change, the eastern G!vi. sion will be divided into two runs, sl. most exactly of the same length, while formerly they were of very pn. equal size. Under the old arrange ment, Alamogordo at the end of the first half of the run to Santa Rosa was only se miles from Fl Paso, while the latter half of the run was 192 miles in length, making a very tin equal distribution of the distance be tween Fl Paso and Santa Rosa
 Under the contemplated. arrange ment, Carrizozo, marking the end oi the first run, will be IA miles iron Fl Paso, while from Carrizozo to San ta Rosa, the end of the eastern diYl sion, will be 134, thus making the divisions almost exactly the same length.

Last nights meeting of the BiSbee Fire Department was one of the most enthusiastic sessions that that body has held for many months.
 me matter of vast improvements proposed for some time to the end that Bisbee may have a better fire fighting machine consumed the greater part of the evenings work
 Estimates and plans, prepared by a committee from the department, Su- perintendent Sherman and Chief En- gineer Mcbride, of the Copper Queen, were submitted and approved by the department. They will be presented by committee from the fire depart ment to the City Council at next Tues days meeting of that body.
 The plans call for the installation of ten-inch mains throughout the city and the erection of a series of five 200, ,000-gallon tanks on one of the hills of the city for water storage to be us- ed exclusively in case of fire. The department further has prepar- ed petition to the City Council which also will be presented next Tuesday, i asking that the Gamewell fire alarm system be installed in the fire house, horses and apparatus added to the present equipment, and provisions made for manning the house with res ] ident members of the department rooms for whom will be furnished by | the city. The city will not be asked for a paid department as yet, but the matter of such provision in the near | future at time when the city is able to bear the expense, was gone over and will be taken before the Council. I The committee to whom this work
 was assigned is composed of George
 Buxton, J. E. Thompson and M. New man.
 | The committee was instructed to take up with the council the cost of the proposed improvements and point
 cut to the city fathers the statment
 made by J. E. Thompson and H. J. OReilly that fire insurance premiums ! would be cut at least in an amount
 represented by one-third of the pro posed cost.

SUN PREDICTS DEMOCRATIC
 GOVERNOR
Sets Politicians Agog in a MyS- tic PrognoStication in
 New York. -

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The New York Sun has set the politicians all agog by prediction which ran about as follows:
 The next governor of the State of New York will be Democrat.
 "The next governor of the State of New York will be the next President of the United States
 Nothing at all of Bryan or the Bryan boom. The Nebraskan is counted out, not only for the election but even for 1, tn nomination, which other people have been conceding was his without the asking.
 The politician want, to know what the Sun meant; they want the Sun to name its man. Is it Hearst? That is 1 the easiest conclusion at which to ar rive, but the Sun is anything rather than a Hearst organ; and the Sun is whom it doesn't like.
 l The New York World, year or so ago, made the solemn prediction that Theodore. Roosevelt would succeed himselft as President on March 4 1909, and the World has stuck 10 il ever since. The World doesn't like Roosevelt in the White House at all and this is it's way of fighting him RdrhaEs the Suns prediction may have been intended to help the war ring Republican factions to get to gether.
 If the present efforts to bring abeu' harmony fail of effect, the Republican Estimation in the Empire State certainly will have an ugly aspect, and the cleo | ton of Democratic governor could bt accepted as natural result. An Democrat with the triumph of sue
 cessful campaign for the New Yorl lgovernorship fresh upon him would
 be a presidential quantity of weigh in ordinary seasons, but just now I would be hard to find Democrat aside from the Hearst enthusiasts
 who was inclined to go to New Yori for a presidential candidate.
