bay were received by the dealers at the
wharf market yesterday and another
good shipment was received this morn

large increase in the catch, and several
hundred lunches of perch, catfish, cells
and other bunch fish have been received
from them in the past day or two. Some

We shall never be able to say posi-.

planets are actually inhabited. Such
Is the conviction of that competent

ideas on the whole subject before the
Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
We shall, he says, by no increase Of
magnlfying and defining power In the
telescope, ever be able actually to see
the inhabitants. This is not because
we have reached the limit OF magnify
ing power, but because OF the great
turbulent ocean Of atmosphere through
which we must look and which IL al

of air quiets down and permits the
astronomer to use the full power OF
