DO FISH REALLY FLY7
OPINIONS OF EXPERTS DIFFER
One Saws Fins simply Act a. Aero
pianes-Another Claims Tha'
They Move swiftly as Wings.

Two papers on the eternal flying hSn
problem have appeared almost si'iu
taneously. and express widely diVerSe
views. SAYS the London Field.
In the one published In the Jahrbuch
of the Austrian geological survey ~
Abel, after describing the various
kinds OF fossil flying fish, conciuues
that neither the typical dying hsh oi
the flying gunards ever use their pee
toral fins as active organs OF hisnt'
ON tho contrary. the initial Impetus by
means of which these hsnes arc
launched into the air Is due entreiy 10

ney, the wings" acting merely as par.
achutcs. In other words the night is
precisely similar to that OF nat stone
when thrown up so as to ricochet from
the points where II touches the water
TIL it finally falls.
In the second paper. published IN
the january number of the Annals ana
Magazine of Natural history. the au'
thor. Col. c. d. Durnford, takes the
precisely opposite view. mninthihihe'
on mechanical grounds, that the aero
plate theory. as the above may oe
called, is an absolute pnSslCNI iilpus'
slbllity. owing TO the fact that the
wing surface Is far too small In pro
portion to the size and weight OF the
body TO sustain the fish during as
long flight.
This being admitted, the only alter.
native is to suppose that the wings
are moved with an exceedingly rapid
vIbratory motion throughout the whole
flight, and are thus, after the hrst IN
ltial impetus. the propelling power.
The author further maintains that tine
wing movements which many observ'
crs have noticed when flying hsh
touches wave are not movements de
novo but merely such a slowing down
Of the continuous rapid vibrations as
to render them visible TO the eye. II
Col. Durnford's mechanical data are
trustworthy-as they seem to bo-his
case appears TO be proved.
The next point, however. to nscer'
tain is whether the MUSCLES which
work the pectorai fins OF flying fish
are really capable Of imparting To
them the power OF maintaining those
rapid and continuous vibrations which
