FINS ARE SIMILAR TO WINGS.
Flying Fish Really Propel Themselves
Through the Air,

Flying Fish Really Propel Themselves
Through the Air.
Does the flying fish really fly, or is
the so-called flight a mere extended
leap, in which the fins are used on
the principle of the aeroplane to float
or rest On the air, and so afford sup.
port to the body? The question has
been much discussed, and many nat
uralists have denied it the power of
true flight. Mr.. Frank Bullen, who in
his many voyages has had unique op.
portunities for observing the flying
fish, is emphatic in the assertion that
it does really fly in the proper sense
OF the word. He has seen 1t, for e x.
ample, change it's course at a sharp
angle when an obstacle interviewed,
and when about to re-enter the water
he has cen it rise and continue it's
course on seeing an enemy below.
Some recent observations contributed
by Lieut.. Col. Durnford to the Lon
don Annals and Magazine of Natural
History, confirm this view. The
writer contends that the ordinary
aeroplane theory involves a mechani-
cal impossibility. The true explana-
ton Is an intensely rapid vibration of
the winglike fins-a vibration which
becomes apparent to the eye as it
slows down when the fish reaches the
water.-London Globe.

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her
Family by Or. Williams
Pink Pills,

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starve and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. By
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People have
performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous suf-
ferer to neglect them.
A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter
Morrissette, of No. 315 Eleventh street,
Alpena, Mich, who writes as follows:
trouble started with childbirth.
After one of my children was born I had
a kind of paralysis. l was very weak
and my mouth was a little crooked. I
was always tired and was SO nervous
that I could not bear to hear a dog bark
or a bell ring-even the little bird in it's
cage would annoy me. My heart fut-
tered a great deal and I had dizzy spells.
I was not able to be left alone.
my doctor gave me different kinds of
medicine, changing it several times.
When it was evident that he could not
help me he said he did not understand
my case. This was three years ago and
I was very much discouraged, when my
brother, who had taken DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I
tried them and noticed a change for the
better when / was taking the second box.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured me and I
have been well ever since. now do all
my own homework, sewing and wash
ing for seven of u.s."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured diseases caused by impure or i'm
poverished blood such as rheumatism,
anamia and after-effects of the grip.

Pills or the remedy will be mailed, post.

ing in Russia During the
Easter Festival.
Retirement of Minister of Interior Dur
novo From Office is Announced,
and Count Witte Seems to
Have at Last Secured Up
per Hand of His Rival.

st. Petersburg.-The Easter festival,
the anniversary of the Jewish massa.
ere at Kishinev and other places, hap
PLY was not stained this year by anti.
Jewish excuses. The measures taken
by the central government and the
orders sent to the provincial authori
ties to take every precaution, with the
added warning that they would be held
personally responsible for outbreaks
apparently were effective, though the
danger will not be over until the East
er holidays are passed.
The high church feast was celebrat
ed in the usual fashion-with much
eating and drinking and the exchange
of the kiss of peace. Some slackening
in the old religious fervor was notice
able, especially in st. Petersburg. This
is attributed to the revolutionary pro.
paganda, which, in striking at the
roots of the state, touched also blind
devotion to the church. The streets
of the capital have been alive with the
cabs of government officials and clerks
making their congratulatory calls on
their %superiors.
Minister of the Interior Durnovo
however, published a notice to his sub
ordinates, stating that it was not nee
essary for them to call on him, and in
the midst of general surprise his re.
tirement from Office was announced
but this declination of congratulations
is regarded as another intimation that
his REIMBURSEMENT of Office is a matter
of a few days. Count White for the
moment seems to have downed his ri
val, the elections having strengthened
his position greatly and enabled him
to lay the blame for repression on M
Durnovo.

The Three "G's."

S. S. Breese Stevens tells OF an
old colored minister whom he heard
preach in Richmond, Va, not long
ago.
1T seems" says Mr.. Stevens, that
the church treasury was represented
by a deficit, and on this occasion the
worthy colored clergyman's discourse
was directed toward urging his con-.
gregation to make their donations a
bit more liberal. His remarks, in
part, were something like this:

carried consisted Of several tons of
dried flies, which arrived in London
the other day from Brazil. They are
mixed with meal and make fine food
for chickens. They bring 16 cents a
pound. and there are about sixteen
pounds to a bushel. The importers
used to get only 10 cents a pound, but
the demand has increased greatly.

Spider Lives Long on Liaht.

Little Miss Muffet's spider was per.

NJ. ]. H. Fabre has studied the spi-
der's powers of fasting. He noticed
that the mother spider carries it's lit
tie ones on it's back for seven months,
and that during that time the young
spiders consume absolutely NO food.
He concluded from this observation
that it is the solar heat and light that
for them directly takes the place OF
nourishment. In other words, the
motor heat in these young animals,
instead of being released from the
food, might be utilized directly as the
sun, source of all life. radiates it.

where he got tangled in an oak brush

All arc subject to the same physical

physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displacc-
