GOVERNOR MEETS WITH
BOARD OF REGENTS

Governor Frear attended an enthu-
siastic meeting of the Board of Re-
gents of the new College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts yesterday after
noon, and related some of the interest
ing methods pursued while at Wash
ington to bring the Agricultural Col
lege of Hawaii under Federal appro-
priation shared by such institutions in
the various States and Territories OF
the mainland. This appropriation orig
mated in 1890 by Congress passing an
act giving colleges of agriculture and
mechanic arts $4,000 each per annum,
increasing by the addition of $1,000
yearly until the total amount reached
the sum of $4,000. This sum was af
terward increased $4,000 annually to
each State. at the end of five years
the appropriation to remain at $4,000
annually.
The Governor stated his belief that
the Agricultural College here will be
placed in the list along with others
that will get this appropriation for the
fiscal year. He furthermore believes
that there will be no obstacles to pre-
vent the college from getting 100000
this year
The board took action upon num-
Der of other important matters in
connection with getting the grounds
and building ready for the opening, to
take place on February 3, at which
time pupils may begin preparing them
selves in whatever studies they may
be deficient for entering the regular
collegiate course beginning Septem-
Der A.
Arrangements are being made for an
evening course in horticulture and en-
tomology. The instruction viii consist
largely of lectures given twice week
by specialists, and no tuition fee or
entrance requirements will be neces-
sary. This course viii probably con-
tinue through February and March.

POISONED FISH MAY
BRING ON CHOLERA

B. d. Mitchell, an old-timer here and
a graduate of a College of Physicians
and Surgeons thinks that cholera may
be traced to the eating raw of fish
which. at certain times of the year.
consume a poisonous variety of limu.
THE first case of cholera here in
1895 appeared among the feasters at a
raw fish luau. Years ago when
taught school on one of the other is
lands, the natives who ate the limu-fed
fish uncooked came down with some
thing very much like cholera if not
the real thing itself. l don't know
about the recent case on River street
but l should like to know what the
man had been eating before he was
taken down."

Losing the Use OF Our Legs?
From The Lody's pictcr;oI.

A French journal gloomily prognosti-
Gates that we shall have lost the use Of
our legs in a generation or two. The
tendency OF the age is to invent means
by which human beings are conveyed
from place to place as quickly and cheaply
as possible.
People certainly walk far less now than
they did twenty-five years ago; they will
walk still less in fifty years time. When
a century has passed. perhaps. as our
French contemporary suggests, we shall
altogether have forgotten how to walk.
and our descendants will hop like birds
when they are on the level and fly when,
ever they get the chance. But what will
become Of their liversp And how are the
poor things ever to enjoy the delights OF
looking at the shops?

that the whale then on hand had been
named Big Sunday from having been
killed on that day.
The large COW whale killed IN 1894 was
called THE Little Children" II seems
that but few men were at hand when she
was sighted 30 the boats were manned by
the name. A small whale also killed In
1894 was named the Lee" whale from
the fact that II was harpooned by Lee
Guthrie. My informant could not recall

to look around and see what there was

the water and sometimes jumping clear.
At certain points in the blight the water
shoals very rapidly, and in one OF his
jumps the whale stranded on high
shoal in very shallow water and there
remained. quite unable to struggle clear.
The fisherman went back to his house TO
get his harpoon and a long stake, and
with them he returned to his whale.

Whaling has been pFaotised around
Beaufort for q good many years. and
Ii yet to q small extent. Several species
OF whales are known there. but only one.
the black or north Atlantic right whale
(Eubalena glaoialis). is ever sought.
This species is similar In many respects
10 the Arctic bowhead. but ID less bulky
and commercially less valuable.
Comparing specimens Of equal length
the head Of the right whale is both shorter
and less deep. and produces In conse-
quenoe shorter whalebone In smaller
quantity. Its habitat being more south
erly It does not need the same thickness
of fatty covering (blubber) to protect
it against the cold as does Its Arctic
relative. and that means less oil. SO
with q smaller quantity Of the valuable
"bone.' and that Of shorter length, and
producing much less oil. Our friend OF
this region loses out all around when II
comes TO a showdown.
An occasional sperm whale has been
seen of our coast, says II. II. Brinley in
the Charlotte Observer. and some years
ago one came ashore near Wrightsville.
Flnbacks are sometimes seen and a school
OF black kfish (the Norw egian grind hale)
was taken In the blight Of Cape Lookout
about twenty years ago. but when we
speak Of whales on this coast We refer to
the black whale.
I don't know how long the fishermen Of
the Beaufort -Morehead-Cape Lookout re-
Rion have been hunting whales of shore,
but the fishery seems to be Of long stand
ing. Whaling ia not the regular occupation
OF any one, the appearance Of the animals
being too irregular. but it has been the
custom during the season when whales
are likely to be seen TO keep a whaleboat
or two on the ocean side Of "the banks
ready for launching in case OF need.
Such boats are clinker built and very
much ON the model OF the regular whale
boats. but somewhat smaller. They are
usually equipped with couple OF harpoons
and several lances. each with it's proper
