ESKIMO SEALERS.
A Battle Of Alertness Between the
Hunter and His Prey.

A Battle Of Alertness Between the
Hunter and His Prey.
The Eskimo method of hunting seals
shows a primitive calling improved to
Il fine art. When a seal is discovered
the direction of the wind is at once
noted. Then the hunter, keeping
himself to the leeward of the seal,
walks up 30 within about a quarter of
a mile of it. Beyond this he begins to
crouch and advances only when the
seals head is down.
Now, as the seal is one of the most
wideawake of animals and has the
habit of throwing up its head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger, it follows that the Eskimo has
to be extremely alert if he would get
his seal. When the seals head is
down upon the ice it's eyes are shut.
and it is said that in these brief inter
walls it takes its sleep.
The hunter by carefully watching
the seals movements is able without
much difficulty to get within about 200
yards of it. but at closer quarters he
is obliged to employ other tactics. He
lies down at full length on the ice
Then the real sport begins.
When the seal's head is down the
hunter, who keeps a keen eye on his
prey, is able to approach still nearer
by dragging himself forward on his
elbows. This maneuvering continues
for some time until the distance be-
tween man and beast has been re-
duced to a few yards.
When near enough to make a sure
shot the Eskimo takes his bow and
arrow from his side and sends a swift
shaft through the head of his Outwit-
ted companion Sometimes instead Of
the bow and arrow a harpoOn is used
with equal effect.-Harper's Weekly.

MILFORD WILL ADVANCE
Board of Trade Decides to Recon-
mend Numerous Improvements


At special meeting of the Mil
ford Board of Trade which was held
in the officers room at the Armory,
there was considerable discussion of
an interesting nature, and though
the attendance was not large, those
present were interested in the move
ments to have Milford progressive.
The meeting adjourned to meet at 8
O'Clock Friday evening, in the same
place, and a general invitation has
been given to all citizens of the
town whether members of the board
of trade or not, to come to the
meeting and take part in the discus
sion of what can or should be done
or Milford. 1t is the universal opin-
ion that this town must finish build
ing sewers in all parts of the town
so that the public health may be
protected from epidemics of diseases
which results from lack of proper
drainage. To do this it will necessi-
tate the borrowing Of $50, 900. This
matter will be taken up Friday
evening and aired thoroughly by the
meeting. The idleness of the old
shirt factory was brought to the at
tention of the meeting. This build
ing was exempt from taxes so long
as it was used for a shirt manufact-
uring business up to a tenn of ten
years; the owner of this property
has failed to conduct a shirt factory
or any other business in it. AS
result many claim that the property
should be taxed the same as other
buildings in the town. Committees
will be appointed to take up different
phases of the towns betterment at
the Friday night meeting.
