Ways of the Flying Fish.

Flying fish swim In shoals varying
in number from dozen to hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darting through the air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly
rising again and then renewing their
flight Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out Of the water and gaining up
on his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape,
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their FMS at all as wings
IL not fully decided. The power of
flight IL limited to the time the fms
remain moist. .-..

PICKPOCKET is ARRESTED
Man Suspected of Several Thefts Is
Captured in Broadway Depart
nnent Store

]. w. Moses, said to be known to the
police departments in the large cities of
the country as one of the shrewdest
pickpockets, was arrested by Detective
Hosick in the Broadway department
store yesterday morning and purse
containing so cents in marked money,
said to have been stolen from Miss E.
Usher, was found on his person.
For some time the managers of the
store have been suspicious of Moses,
He has been a frequent visitor there,
yet never made any purchases. Nu-
merous thefts were committed during
his visits and it was decided to watch
him. Miss Usher, an employe, was then
given purse containing marked money
and for several days has passed her
time wandering through the aisles of the
store. Yesterday morning Moses came
into the store. Miss Usher saw him and
advanced to a nearby counter. Soon
Moses approached her, and is said to
have been seen by Miss G. Olsen, a
clerk, and e. l.. Lewis, a floor walker,
to take the purse from her pocketbook.
He was at once placed under arrest
and taken to the police station. A
charge of grand larceny will be placed
against him.

and one of Los Angeles most noted
doctors, Miss Laura Doran, daughter
of Mrs. Mary T. Doran of Hotel Leigh
ton and DR.. Edward T. Dillon.
DR.. Dillon is a member of the Bach
elors' club, and little did his friends
expect who saw him last evening at
the cotillion dance with the charming
Miss Dorap on his arm that he would
soon lose the title of bachelor and had
already set the date for his wedding
day.
Miss Doran, although a native of
Canada, has lived here eighteen years
and has ever since her debut been
popular with Los Angeles society peo-
pie.
DR., Dillon is associated with the
Sisters hospital and he has long
list of unostentatious charity work
against his name.

morning, January 30, and will be a
church affair. Miss Doran has al
ready chosen her bridal party. Miss

COUNCIL To AID
The CAS- INQUIRY
Lawmakers Confer Informally to Carry
Out the Mayors Suggestion
of Naming Official
lnquisitors

When Mayor Harper is asked about
the gas situation he tells a story about
the farmer with leaky roof who in
rainy weather invariably thought
about mending it, but when the sun
shine came failed to see the necessity.
He thinks the temperance of the sun
shine will be the best remedy for the
gas situation but stands ready to help
in any way he can.
In his message the mayor suggested
an official commission. of inquiry and
yesterday these and other suggestions
in the long document were discussed
by all the new councilmen who visited
the city hall.
President Pease is one of those con-
WINGED that something should be done
to force the gas company to get the
situation in hand better. He believes
such a committee by taking testimony
can get at facts now little understood.
The new councilmen, as a rule, feel
that it is due them that a full under
standing of public utility corporations
be given them, hence more than the
mayor and few lawmakers are ex-
pected to visit the gas plant.

day paid the demand of $36, 400 of the

The city has never used the ma
chimes, which are now in storage and

Approving this contract was the last
official act of City Attorney w. B.
Mathews. who was defeated for re-

the First National bank and 1t was
from that source that the messenger
came yesterday and got the money

as being a waste of public funds, but
the council passed the measure over
his head.
