MARKED FISH IN THE SEA.

the sea with the chance Of retailing
them later is part of the work carried
on by the Marine Biological Associa-
ton vi Great Britain, says Discovery.
by means of a steam trawler the
hsh are caught in the usual way. Each
haul is carefully recorded, the fish
are counted and measured and all de.
tails OF locality, time, number, spe-
cies, sex and size are put down, to-
gether with accurate observations on
the water, the depth and bottom Of the
sea, the kinds and quality of food
available. etc. These data are subse-
quently tabulated and charted.
The method of marking the fish is
interesting and has been attended
with valuable results. The fish chief
ly used during the few years the ex.
pertinent has been in progress have
been plaice, because the proposals
which have been made to interfere
with the catching of them were based
on inadequate knowledge.
The fish are marked on the dorsal
surface with very thin convex metal
disk bearing O number. This is at.
tached to fine silver wire which is
passed through the thinner part of the
fish near the fin and secured on the
under side by small bone button.
The fish do not appear to suffer incon-
venience and their growth is not in
terfered with in any way.
The thoroughness with which the
North sea Is swept by the nets of the
fishing fleets is demonstrated by the
fact that out of 5,O39 marked place
OF all sizes 992 were recaptured with
In a year. This represents 1877 per
cent. or nearly one-fifth, but for the
medium-sized fish the figures are far
higher, ranging from 2S.4 to 80 per
cent for the whole of the North sea
and to 43 per cent. in the more north.

all the marked fish they catch. At the
laboratory reference to the records
easily establishes how much the fish
have gained in size and weight since
the previous catching. Moreover, the
distance between the spot where 1t
was released and the place where It
was again caught gives an idea as to
its movements.

New Bridge al "The Piers"

The long looked for bridge over
the Oneota river at 1.-THE piers, I"
just above the Anundsen cal in seven
miles down the river, will be built,
possibly this fall. At the meeting of
the Board of Supervisors last week
the matter was brought mp for final
disposal. after having been before the
Board for several sessions. At first
all the bids were rejected, and later
in the session revised bids received,
and finally the contract let to the
Clinton Bridge Co. of Clinton, Iowa,

two-span bridge. with span or ap-

good strong, steel bridge. The COM
pany will attempt, we understand, to
complete the bridge this fall. There
is no doubt of the need of this bridge.
1t ought to have been built twenty
years ago. A large amount of traffic
has gone to Allamakee county which
rightfully belongs to Winnesheik,

Council Passes Extension Of Franchise.

At special meeting of the city
council last evening, the ordinance
granting an extension of two years
time for the completion of the Upper
Iowa Power Go, IS dam and water
power plant was passed, after being
held up at previous meeting. The
ordinance simply gives Mr.. Burtis
and his company an extension of the
time in which the dam is to be COM
pleted to July /, 1909, owing to the
catastrophe of last year, which swept
out the dam and prevented the fulfill
ment of the terms of the former ordi-
nance. How any person pretending
to be serving the citizens of DEBORAH
as public official can oppose such an
ordinance, which simply means the
securing of SIS, 600 outside capital to
come here and establish an enterprise
that can possibly do no one an injury
and means progress, development and
an actual financial saving for the city
and it's citizens, is entirely beyond
our comprehension, and yet such was
the case.
We understand that arrangements
for the securing of the capital have
been completed, that plans are being
drawn for the new dam, and that it
will be constructed next year as soon
as the danger of high water is past.
