Fish That Fly.

1t is difficult to spin a yarn of the sea
especially when your own relatives Inn
agine you are drawing the long bow.
For instance, had arrived home from
tie West Indies with a cargo of rum
and sugar. 1t was my first voyage.
When l went home to see my grand
mother she wanted to know what Ihad
seen. told her had seen mountains
of sugar and rivers of rum and fish
that could fly. She replied, shaking
her finger at me: "Charles, you are as
bad as your father. Mountains Of
sugar and rivers of rum you may have
seen, for the Lord knows that almost
every ship arriving at Portland brings
the sticky, sinking stuff with it,
but fish that flies you never saw.
When you 60 to bed pray to be forgiven
for such big fib."
Well there are fish that fly just the
same. They don't soar through the air
| like swallow or skim over the waves
like sea bird, but they manage to play
| with their enemies fer time. A flying
fish looks something like salt water
mullet but their pectoral fms are SO
long that they can be spread out wide.
As the fish leap from the water with q
rush they spread these large fins and
sail over the sea for a hundred yards
/ or more. Sometimes they but touch
i the top of the swell aud are off again.
Old sailors say that as long as their
tins are wet they can fly. said they
touched the top of the swell, for when
there is seA rum ng the fish do not
1 fly. They hide III the shadows OF the
4 waves from their enemies. All game
fish are their enemy-and the frigate
birds get some of them when they fiy.
This is how the natives of the West In-
dies catch them. On calm day they
scatter dust on the sea. The flying fish
gather under this dust for protection,

hang the scent and echo the sounds of

THERE'S mysterious cunning artist,

He never shows himself to you.
Nor says: Look pleasant, please"
And if he catches you with frown
Twill make you i'll at ease.
And when he has your likeness
Be it pleasant, sad or cross.
He takes it to Happiness. who decides.
For you gain or loss.
Happiness then passes her opinion
Upon the painting he has brought
And if it is pleasing one.-
Success will be your lot.
She'll hang it in her gallery.
And there she'll smile on you:
But should the picture wear frown.
That frewn you'll forever rue.
So you'd best always look pleasant.
And never wear frown:
For you never. know the minute that
This artist may be around.
If you would abide with Happiness.
And be welcomed guest;
You must needs wear pleasant smile.
And be cheerful optimist.
And remember it is impossible
For you to even guess
when your picture may be painted
BY this artist of Happiness.

Halsted Street.

From the west windows of certain
lofty buildings in the Loop District of
Chicago, one may see by looking be-
yond the river, with its strange draw
bridges, its teeming commerce, its pro-
cession of masts, smokestacks and fun
uels, the dingy continuation Of the
cross-street up which lie happens to be
gazing, sooty canyon lost in smoke.
Over the whole landscape sweeps
black cloud obscuring the sun for
miles aud miles, nliiug the air with
poisonous dust of noxious fumes, STAIN
ing, defiling, communicating everything
it touches. When the good west wind
blaws in pure from. the plains and
prairies, it goes on scross the bine lake

out where it may fia some unsuspect-

from every building pours forth more

Thousands of people are suffering

body thar anything else.
SOME OF THE MOST
COMMON SYMPTOMS
Headache of any kind. pains in the
top of the head or down in the back
of the neck. Nervousness. dizzy

proof that they are not properly fitted.
