AN acquaintance of mine who trav-

He asserted that his eyes were being

This regular complaint was listened
to patiently by the conductor; the
higher officials made promises, but the
dim lights continued to flicker. FL
nally the disguised passenger ceased
to grumble and made no further eff

Zone evening the conductor was
startled to see a complacent smile on

Matted for the Order.

The life of Uncle Sans naval men
is not all dull routine. A young lieu
tenant of marines was drilling his
company in the naval yard the other
day. After going through various evo-
buttons they found themselves very
near the edge of the channel which
runs through the yard. Nevertheless
the order company left" was given.
AS the order was executed the SER
geant at the extreme right of the line
discovered that to take the position
prescribed would mean his walking
of the stringpiece into the channel. He
therefore stepped back behind the
man next to him in ranks, who occu-
pied a precarious position at the edge
of the pier.
Sergeant" called the officer in
command.
'.Yis, sor." replied the sergeant.

About thirty-four years ago the
Sunday sunrise service collection was
started. Some 3,400 years ago the
following ten thoughts were pre-
pared: First-Thou shalt have no
other gods before me. Second-Thou
shalt not make unto thee any craven
image, or any likeness of anything
that is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth: thou shalt not
bow down myself to them, nor serve
them: for 1 the Lord thy God am a
jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation of
them that hate me; and shelving
mercy unto thousands of them that
love me, and keep my command
mentS. Third-Thou shalt not take
the name of the Lord thy God in
vain; for the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Fourth-Remember the Sabbath day,

FOUND MANY MARKED SALMON
Proof That Fish Return to Place
Where They Were Matched.


What is believed to be the best evil
dence of the efficiency of artificial
propagation of salmon that has ever
been secured was recently obtained
by Fish Commissioner kershaw rela-
tive to the operation of hatcheries on
the Colombia river. Mr.. Kershaw re-
ceived tails and fins of 100 salmon
from single trap owner on the Co
lumbia river that were plainly marked
hatchery fish.
When the hatcheries were placed in
operation on the Columbia river sys-
tenn of marking was adopted for the
purpose of ascertaining if any of the
salmon turned out of the river re-
turned to their native spawning
grounds, and in what length of time.
The marked fins and tails received
by Mr.. Kershaw were found to be sal
man that were turned out of the Kali
ANA and Chinook hatcheries four
years ago. The spawn of these fish
was taken in 1900 and the young sal
mon turned out in 1901. The small
bones in the fins were cut down and
a hole punched in the tail. The cut
ting of the bones in the find is just
the same as man losing a part of
his finger-it never grows out again
The Columbia river was practically
depleted when the artificial propaga-
tion of salmon was commenced on
that stream, and the past several
years has demonstrated that it has
been restocked by some means.
While only part of the fish were
marked when released from the hatch
cries, the fact that one trap owner on
the river found at least 100 of these
salmon during the past season is con-
elusive evidence that artificial propa-
cation is the only solution of the prob
lem to prevent the depletion of the
salmon misunderstanding Post-Intelli-
gencer.
