 The Class Tn Arithmetic. Gadsden Times-News.
 A correspondent in The DeKalb Rec. ord is asking the old. old question of whether Q fish in water weighs any A hA hnC ard aatA that if . tub of water weighs 1o0 pounds and a 10-pound fish is put into the tub, the total weight will remain the same. This problem was first pro- vate aquarium in the ark. The answer Is that the fish would not weigh ten pounds because when in water its blad- der contains more or less air, accord ing to depth, and the amount of air affects the weight of the fish. The deeper he swims the less he weighs, and vice versa. the nearer he Is the sur- face the greater his weigh. As gen. eral proposition 1t may be stated that anything that will stay on the scales weighs something.
 Riding the Wave. The Demopolis Times.
 Public opinion, when. based on sound reasoning, Is to be properly obey ed and should and will always have it's weight in matters of state, but when the masses are led astray into hysteria on some wave of imaginary reform, especially when led by men of character and intelligence. the people need to be 'shown." Many of our editors of the present day are too ready to ride on top of the wave instead of being bold and manly enough to show the people the error of their drifting. There are some journals in this State fearless enough to say what the right and con- servative course should De, but most of them are afraid of the-then--existinR fad because it seems to be espoused by the majority.
