TAME GULLs or SHETLAND

There are many small villages in
the world that have only one stTset:
but Lerwick, in Shetland. besides hav-

one tree. and it is not very tan one

not even a sparrow: but the sea gulla
are plentiful.

tree In Shetland
The sea gulls are the spaxTows Of
LArwick; and fAB such they have q
greater share In the towns life than
the sparYows Of London. In the

sits on every chimney pot Sea gutla

high, plAintive, haunting cries
Every house has fits own familiar
sea glllls and every street its own
band Of them. But. according to the
Fruit Magazine, they never mix. The
children in each house have a pei
name for their own particular sea
gals; and. having called them By
thoss names, they feed them every
day.
Each aea gull knows what ID meant
for him. No bird attached TO one
house ever seeks to eat the food scat
tered from the house next door. He
does not dare to do 30. So all day
long the sea gtnlis hover and call over
the roofs of Lerwick.
