With the warm weather the fish deal
srs along Atlantic avenue are encounr-
ering all kinds of freak fish, as is us
ual for this time of the year they say.
One Atlantic avenue firm had on eX-
hibition few days ago "A fish that
was half turtle. 1t "buffaloed" all the
old tars on the wharf, who declared
they had never seen anything like IT
before.
II weighed about 80 pounds and was
caught few miles off shore. Its head
was incased in bony-like substance,
similar to the horny covering OF the
turtle, while it's body or tail end was
like that of any ordinary fish, only at
certain points IL was mottled and Gov
cred with the same bony substance.
Someone said It was "rhzenose,"
but this didn't seem to take with the
old salts.
The constitutionaity OF the insurance
law OF 1907 covering life and accident
insurance has been upheld by the full
bench of the supreme court
There were two different suits
against the insurance commissioner,
brought with a view to test the con
stitnuonality Of the law, and TO have
il jHdicially construed in respect to
the respective rights of the commits
sioner and the companies.
The court holds that the companies
have no right TO issue policies without
the approval of the commissioner and
sustains the validity of the statute. 1t
further holds that the companies can
not issue policies incontestable from
date
The court says that applications
must be annexed 20 and made part of
the policies.
In the suit of (he Traveller insurance
company and the Aetna insurance COM
pany IL is held that companies cannot
Issue a policy embodyiug both life and
accident insurance; policies for life
and accident insurance must be issued
separately
How close and vital have been the
ties binding Boston and Honolulu for
nearly a century was evidenced In a
very pleasant manner the other after
noon, when Graham ID. Gilman gave
an informal luncheon to his eXcellency
Walter +. Frear, governor of the ter
Titory of Hawaii, and ex-chief justice
of its supreme court.
Mr. Gilman, eX-consul general OF Ha-
waii for New England, and for many
years familiar with affairs In the ISL
ands, conceived the happy idea OF iu-
vting representatives of the national,
state and city governments, newspa-
per men and representatives of other
business interests to meet Gov. Frear
informally on the occasion OF his brief
visit TO Boston. The governor has
been attending the conference of gov.
ernors in Washington, and the peace
conference at Lake Mohonk, and has
been for a few days the guest of a
friend out in Newton.
Just as the last ribbon had been
pinned on the bride of the horse that
brought up the rear OF the long line of
work horses, out I'm their best bibs and
fuckers in competition for the ribbons
and medals offered by the Boston
Work Horse Parade Association Me
mortal day, q smart shower set ig that
sent every one scurrying for cover
IL was the largest and every way
the most successful parade that has
been held i'm this city. The improve
ment in the class of horses shown was
noticeable In the long line OF horses
that went by the reviewing stand there
were very few that were not a credit
