A. Fish Mystery.

One strange feature Of this sea life
Of the tropics Is the regular recurrence
Of migra tory Swarms of FISH OF very
small size that return in huge numbers
year after year with such absolute reg
ularity that the natives calculate on
the event on a certain day in each year
and even within al hour or two Of the
day. One such swarm of fish forms
the occasion of an annual holiday and
feast at Samoa. The fish is not unlike
the whitehall for which the English
Thames has SO long been celebrated
and each year it arrives at Samoa ek
the same day in the month of October
remains fer a day or at the most two
days and then disappears entirely till
the same day of the following year.
Why it comes or whence no curious
naturalist has yet discovered, nor has
anybody traced its onward course when
it leaves the Samoan group. but the
fact is unquessionable that suddenly,
without notice. the still waters Of the
lagoon which surround each island
within the friagtng reef become. alive
with millions sf fishes passing through
them for single day and night and
then disappearing for year as though
they had never GOMEZ .opdOn Stand

LID HITS
RESTAURANTS
Will Cause RetrenChment and Cut
ting Out the Music

SPOKANE, Wash. Jan. 9.--Three
of the leading restaurants OF the
city expressed the belief last night
that expenses would have to be cut
as result OF the decision of the an-
thorities to prohibit the sale of intox-
icating liquors on Sunday, and that
the retrenchment would probably
take the form of eliminating the sun
day night musical programs. The
restaurants taking this view OF the
matter were Davenport's, the Silver
Grill and Windsor s.
1T seems to me that the Silver
Grill will have to cut out It's Sunday
night musical program. and may have
to abandon the music on the other
evenings OF the week." said Manag-
err w. S. Norman OF the Spokane ho-
tel. How far retrenchment will be
necessary | am unable to determine
at this time. but that there will have
to be some retrenchment seems GER
tainty.
ITO tell the truth IL we are to be
law-abiding citizens under the terms
of this law we may have to close the
restaurant. II seems to me that ev-
cry one In the city not coming within
the four callings provided for by this
law is violating the law by keeping
open on Sunday.
AS far as | am aware. no meeting
of the restaurant men OF this city has
been called TO consider what shall be
done. 1t seems to me that each res
taurant keeper will have to figure
out his individual losses that will
accrue from the prohibition against
selling liquor on Sunday"
II became known yesterday, how
ever, that some of the restaurant
men had contemplated holding a
meeting to discuss conditions. One
of the reports was that six or eight
of theachief restaurants might decide
to close their establishments on sun
day
A. A. Delue. manager of WIndsor's
cafe, said;
1T seems very likely that some
form of retrenchment Will have to be
decided upon as result of the Sun
day closing law. Music may be aban-
doned on Sunday evenings. Other
expenses may be cut down. have
not talked with other restaurant men
and am waiting to learn what the
general plan will be as TO reducing
expenses.
l.. NJ. Davenport. owner of Daven-
ports restaurant said.
We will abide by the law as the
mayor directs. As a result of the
Sunday prohibition law we will have
to retrench. but how far | do not
know. The loss In the expense &C.
count will have to be met 1t may be
necessary to cut down the musica
features.

Monument to Texas Hero.

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 9.--Today
is the forty-fifth anniversary of the
death of Colonel T. S. Lubbock. the
Texan hero in whose honor a monu-
ment has recently been erected with
money left for that purpose By the
late Governor Frank r. Lubbock, a
brother of the famous Texan warrior.
Colonel Lubbock was one of the
men who followed old Ben Milan
into San Antonio. serving under him
at the Alamo in 1885. He was one
of the most daring spirits among that
famous band of pioneers who even
tually triumphed over Mexico and
won the republic of Texas from Lat
in-Ameriean domination When the
civil war broke out he became the
leader of the noted band of soldiers
known as Terry's Texas Rangers, and
served in that capacity until his
death. which took place on January
9. 1862.

SELECT OLYMPIC EIGHT
Want Crack Crew to Take Part in
Water Sports.

Water Sports.
New York, Jan. 9.-Rowing au-
thorities have commenced a diligent
search for the best material to be
used in the eight-oared shell crew
that will represent the. United States
in the Olympus regatta in London
next July. No definite decision will
be made as to the PERSONAL of the
crew until the National association
holds its regular meeting in March,
but the preliminary plans wild soon
be well under way. Crack oarsmen
of New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Detroit, Baltimore and even the Pa
cific coast have announced their ambi-
ton to secure place on the crew
and the competition will doubtless
be keen.
1t has been suggested that Carne-
gle lake. Princeton, be selected as
the place for assembling the crew
and for preliminary practice, and
present appearances are that this
project will be acted upon favorably.
1t is likely that majority of the
oarsmen selected will be from the vi
entity of this city and Philadelphia,
and Princeton will be convenien, for
both cities. While many western
oarsmen would like to get on the
crew, it is not believed that any of
them will be selected, since few are
n a position to remain long enough
in the East for adequate trying
OUT and training.
Ralph Zane, formerly stroke and
captain of the University of Penn
sylvania, will likely be selected as
stroke for the Olympic crew. Nearly
all the other great eastern UNIVERSE
ties also have aspirants to places in
the boat that will defend American
rowing hOnors against the world.
