FISHING TIME In THE PASIG
Swimming In Myriads Near Surface
They Are Shared and Speared
by Filipinos.

Friday morning FTlipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. 1t was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored in the
stream were thronged with hundreds
of Fflipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously in their statement to the eff
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths of
the stream and flash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the eff
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
Of the water, this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many PENNSYLVANIA Times.
