AZ one time 1t was widely credited
that flying fish possessed the power to
accelerate their passage through the
air by tapping their wings" as their
enormously elongated pectoral fms are
sometimes called. Had this been prov
ed these fish would have actually shar-
ed with bats. birds and insects pow
er which has been denied to all other
living creatures. But men of science
are now agreed that the motion Of the
fins sometimes seen when the fish
leaves the water Is merely continue
ton Of its swimming movement and in
no way aids the passage of the fish
through the air. The method of the
fishs flight is this: 1t rushes through
the water at high speed. hurls itself
into the atmosphere and. spreading its
huge winglike fins. glides rapidly for
ward until its momentum Is exhausted.
Then it drops back again into the wal
ter. So great is the impetus gained
that these fish under favorable condi-
tons will fly" for a distance of 500
feet. But when once the impetus is
exhausted the fish Is quite unable TO
sustain itself in the air by muscular
effort.-Scientitic American.

these items as news 1t would be in

secure a resident Of Wexford county
to tell the evils Of prohibition. No
man can deliberately face an audi

actual facts. The Grange session by
unanimous vote declared by resolu-
zion as follows:
The Pomona Grange favors dry

In the evening Colon G. LilliA

TO talk on dairying he was not

that he voted as member of the

state prohibition. Mr.. Lille stated
that in walking down the streets o.

constitutional convention from that
county, Mr.. Sawyer. he asked the
former what was the most notice.
able feature of the saloonless town
Mr. Sawyer said one feature he no.
ticed right before him then was that
the children wore better shoes.
Mr. Lille then made one Of his
foroeful addresses on dairying. The
bold stand taken by the Grange in
favor Of closing the saloons is most
noticeable. The farmers resent the
idea that they can be appealed to by
saving a few dollars in taxes. They
will go into partnership with the sa-
loon in financing the county. Such
prostitution of citizenship is regard
ed as an insult and this appeal is re-
ceived with contempt.

Shiawassea Changers are Very Decid-
ed In Their Attitude To-
ward the Saloons

One of the most successful SEES
sions of the Shiawassee County
Grange was held in Burton, Wednes-
day. the 9th. Large delegations of
Grange members were present from
Owosso, Durand, Bennington and
other points. The Ladies' Aid So
cieties of the Burton churches pro,
vided entertainment Of the visitors.
The star speaker of the occasion
was Perry F.: Powers, formerly audi
tor general of the State of Michi-
gan. whose address in favor of a dry
county was enthusiastically received.
The claims for Increased taxation
were shown to be, In Wexford coun-
ty, the home of Mr.. Powers, as total
ly without foundations. If 1t had
not been for appropriations for
roads and other improvements the
actual taxes would have been lessen
ed. The business men of Cadillac
almost unanimously declare in favor
of better town being a saloonless
town.

titioned against reopening of the
saloon. People are awakening to
the idea Of civic pride and Cadillac is
in every way an improved city. Mr..
Powers spoke firmly and forcibIy as

explained how the brewers trust

Farmers Make Attitude on Some
Questions Plain.

Morrice, Feb. 10.-The following
is a copy of the resolutions of the
Farmers Institute, handed in Tues
day afternoon by the committee at
the Farmers Institute of Shiawassee
County held here.
The Shiawassee County Farmers
Institute at it's annual assemblage,
does hereby express its appreciation
of the courteous welcome extended
by the people of Morrice. We es-
peciaily appreciate the work Of
Messrs. Grout and Morrice as effic.
lent executive officials. Also to
those who furnished the music, and
participated in the program and IN
the discussion. To the M. e. church
society for the use of their building.
Also to the ladies of the church for
the excellent meals served, and their
satisfactory price.
We further declare in favor of a
dry county, to the end that Shiawas-
see may not become the resort of I'M
desirable citizens from surrounding
counties. And since the greater por>
tion of the taxes are paid by the
farmers and having a long line of in
creased taxation Under a period OF
license we are perfectly willing to
assume all risks in the direction OF
more taxes by the closing of the sa-
looms in this county.
Where as, the productive farm
pays approximately fifty cents pc,
acre in taxes and abstracts the elo-
ments of mineral fertility annually.
Therefore. he it resolved that we see
nothing but equity in the tonnage
taxation of mineral out put equal to
that of the farm. And that the ex-
perience of other states in the ton
mage taxation of areas is so highly
regarded by them as to form a pre-
cedent that cannot be regarded as
foolish
We favor the Postal Savings bank,
a parcels post adapted to the needs
OF our country. We also request
that Congress order the publication
OF the report of the Rural Life COM
mission in order that the country
may know and appreciate farm con-
ditions.
Whereas. 1t is a matter of im>
portance to have understanding of
a foundation of farm values, there
fore be 1t resolved that we request
the address of Jas. ~ Mcbride be-
fore this institute, be given place
In the round up program, and that
he be requested to submit it to the
Michigan Farmer for publication.
