Omen Season for Brook Trout Com
menced Yesterday.
Local Fishermen Getting
Ready to do a Little
Angling.

Yesterday was the first day OF
the open season for brook trout
and fishermen who have been
patiently waiting for some time
can now hike to the streams and
fish to their hearts content.
Yesterday being rather cool
day very few took advantage of
the first day of the season but
by Sunday it is expected that
the streams in the county will
be lined with fishermen. Those
who angle for the speckled beau
ties should rememb Der that they
are not allowed to retain trout
under six inches in length or
have in possession more than ten
pounds in any one day. The
first section will hit a good many
but we have rallied to see many
of those fishermen who have
been fortunate enough to have
over ten pounds in any one days
catch, at least that is our fix
every time.

TO OxfGENIZE ATHLETES,
Plan Of Prof. Leonard Hill, r. r. S.,
To Break All Worlds Sporting
Records.

Records.
Leonard Hill, F. r. S., Professor OF
Physiology at the London Hospital
Is OF opinion that by the use of oxygen
it will be possible to break the world S
athletic records and to improve sports
III general. The remarkable tests
which he has so far conducted have
| been in connection with runners, and
he gives instances where two rum
ners. after breathing oxygen for two
or three minutes respectively, each
best his previous record
Mr.. Hill, in cooperation with his
demonstration. Mr.. F1ack, has been
for the past twelve months engaged in
research work into the cause of hard
breathing. and, speaking ON the sub
ject. of his experiments, he said that
the reason why man cannot hold his
breath is that he uses up the oxygen
that is in his blood and tissues and
goes on producing carbonic acid. The
want of oxygen and the excess of
carbonic acid excite the breathing
centre in the brain and force the man
to take his breath. The effect of
want of oxygen can be STAYED off for a
much longer period by breathing pure
oxygen. He found he could hold his
breath three times as long as usual
by taking three breaths of oxygen.
whereas DR.. Vernon of Oxford has
Just succeeded in holding his breath
for eight and half minutes.
AT the London Hospital Sports, Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Flack gave oxygen to
some of the runners Immediately af- |
ter the races and the mems distress
was greatly relieved thereby. For the
fhreemile race there were only two
competitors, both of whom were given
oxygen before the start. One man was
'ut OF training and gave up; the other
nan confessed that he had never run
