NESTS OF SEAWEED.
Floating Homes For Flying Fish In the
Sargasso Sea.


Sarsasso Sea.
Science is beginning to know q good
deal more than 1t formerly did about
chat strange drowned meadow in
the Atlantic ocean southwest of the
Azores which is called the Sargasso
sea.
1t is. as is well understood. a vast
accumulation of a. kind of seaweed
which. upheld at the surface of the
water by innumerable little air vessels
that act as floats, is continually re-
newed by the breaking up of Its fronds
and the growth of the broken parts.
Many fishes have established their
homes In Ii as well as numerous swim
ming crabs. small cuttlefish and quite
a variety of other creatures.
Most remarkable of all It's inhabit-
ants is the mouse hsh. which has pee
toral fms developed in such way as
to resemble arms. BY these 1t holds

ture of solitary habits. highly carniyo-
rous and always waiting for some
prey 10 come within reach. II is a
fish of very peculiar appearance, with
ever so many queer looking appen-
dages. and In color 1t initiates closely
the plant that affords 1t shelter, being
green with white spots.
The dying fishes that inhabit the
floating meadow make ball-like nests
out of fronds OF the weed as big as
two fists. Such balls are found ioat-
ing and appear IS II knit together
with elastic threads. They are filled
with eggs Professor Louis Agassis
mistook them fer nests of the mouse

nent authority. has proved this to have
been an error. Each one OF these
nests is composed Of a single frond.

CITY COUNCIL WILL PROBABLY
ACT ON PURCHASE OF WATER
PLANT TONIGHT, If ALL THE
MEMBERS ARE SUFFICIENTLY
INFORMED.

When the city council convenes this
evening two matters of importance
will come up before that body for con
sideration-an ordinance which has
for its object the purchase of the Sa-
lem water plant, and a report upon It
by committee of three, appointed by
the mayor at the last session Of the
council, and the report of the commit
tee on streets, to which proposals for
bids for the pavement of some five or
six streets in the city were referred.
The ordinance for the purchase Of
the Salem water plant came up for the
final reading at the last session
Councilmen Durbin and Pennybaker
stated that they were not familiar
enough with the conditions surround
ing the purchase of the plant, and de-
sired a week to investigate before
casting a vote upon it. Their request
was granted, and they, with Council
man Lafkey were appointed as
committee of three to consult with
the water commission, and secure
from it the necessary information
The street committee last Saturday
forenoon considered and heard argu-
ment from paving companies with re-
gard to the pavement to be done on a
number of the city's streets. The
committee, however, was not given
power to act. and its report on the
proposals will be turned over to the
council this evening That body will
then tako some action with regard to
the subject.

The declaration of principles was
I
signed by nine Republican U. S. sen.
ators, the governors of six Republi-
can states, and 13 members of the

Popular government in America
has been thwarted, progressive legis-
lation strangled by special interests
which control caucuses delegates tc
conventions and party organizations
and through the control of the ma
chinery of government, dictate nomi-
nations and platforms and elect ad-
ministrations, legislatures, represen-
