Westminster '(B. @ Cor. Seattle Times.
 From Nanaimo comes the story of an enterprising government fisheries ofti- cial who is enlisting the services of sea gulls in the task of cleaning up the immense number of dead herring dropped overheard by boats at the diff ferent wharves, where cargoes are loaded on the vessels.
 While making his rounds recently this party tied up his gasolene launch at one of the wharves while figuring out the best method of attempting to remove the fish Neglecting to switch off the power the propeller churned up the water to such an extent that large number of dead herring came to the surface, thousands of sea gulls im- mediately sweeping down and glutting themselves on the fish.
 The experiment was made at several of the other wharves. and in every case the gulls performed the task which would have entailed considerable ex- pense had it been done by manual or mechanical labor.
