The Tail of a Fish.

A fish's tail is its wings. Owing to the machinery of muscle set along its spine and to its cleaving form trout or salmon can dart through the water at tremendous pace. though its rap- i'd flights. unlike the birds. are not long ones. It is soon tired. The water is not so. friendly to flight as the air. The stroke of the fish's tail is one of great power. and by means of it and the writhing. snakelike iexion of the body a high speed is reached. The strength behind this speed is shown H. the way a fish or sea mammal out of the water will raise Its tail and strike the ground or boat.
