in a new form, will be once more in
favor for a sort of flying bicycle will
be invented. which will enable the
rider to soar in midair.
The average height of Europeans
will be increased; so will the average

falling off of fiftythree in comparison

FEWER LOBSTERS CAUGHT.
Legislation Needed in Canada.

ST. John. N. B.. Sept. 29-That the catch
of Holsters is steadily falling off through
out all Canada is the statement made by
Commissioner Wakeman, who has just

for the Dominion Government. This
county was the last territory to be COW
cred, after which the commissioner left
for his home in Gaspe, Que, to prepare
his report to be forwarded to Ottawa.
This decrease, according to Commissioner
Wakeham, is due to the catching of I'M
dersized Holsters and the destruction of
berred crustaceans. The only remedy he
says. is legislation increasing the size OF
the lobster which can be legally caught
and this matter will probably be consid-
cred when the House of Commons sits
