In the year lT47 great tumult was
raised in the town of Boston. Com
modore Knowles. while lying at Nan

losing some of his men by desertion,
thought it reasonable that Boston
should supply him with as many men
as he had lost He therefore sent his
boats uptown early In the morning
and surprised not only as many sea-
men as could be found on board of
any Of the boats outward bound ms
we'll as others, but swept the wharfs,
taking some ship carpenters appren-
ices and landsmen.
This conduct was resented. As soon
as it was dusk several people assem-

house, where the general court was
sitting. stones ana brickbats We're

speech of the governor from the bal

promising his utmost endcavors to OBJ

pressed, had no effect The seizure
and restraint Of the commanders and
other officers who were in town were
insisted upon as the only effectual
method TO procure the release Of the
inha bitants on board the ships. The

Letters in the meantime passed be-

the President and the Senate would

NOISY FISHES.
The Skate orunts, the Puffer chuckles,
and the Drumfish pooms.

The Skate Grunts, the Puffer chuckles,
and the Drumfish Rooms.
Perhaps the most conspicuous exam
pie Of the fishes that are capable OF ut
terance is the drumfsh. so called by
reason Of the deep. booming noise it
produces at will. It is found along
the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts
to Florida.
The squeteague. another salt water
fish of the noisy variety. resembles in
appearance the trout. and the not I'm
musical sound that it gives cut is
much like the note uttered by a big
bullfrog. Allied TO the squeteague is
the fish known as "the croaker." which
AS its popular name indicates. affects
the croak-an unmistakable croak.
The sea robin. so called because It
has crimson fins just behind its head
about the size of birds wings. is an
other fish that makes itself heard
The "squawk" OF the sea robin is es-
pecially emphatic when on being
caught It lifts up its voice in reiterat
ed protests.
There is a fish that may be said to
chuckle-thc little pufrer or swell6sh.
1t puffs itself into the shape Of a per
feet sphere and as it does so gives
out n peculiar, hOarse chuckle.
The skate when caught grunts,
groans and gasps pretty much after
the manner of a human being in dis
tress. Carp and goldfish frequently
utter curious sounds, but hardly sounds
in the meaning of the term here used,
inasmuch as their sounds are produced
by approaching the surface OF the wa.
ter and blowing out air in bubbles un-
til ripping noise is heard Denver

sufficient revenue could be derived from
such an institution to maintain the
poor of Alger county and perhaps leave
a surplus besides.
On Medical Inspection
That there is one phase of the sub
iect of medical inspection of schools
which is not sufficiently considered by
its most strenuous advocates is the
belief of Or. J. T.. Lautncr. instructor
at the Northern state Normal who
questions the legal right of the school
authorities to compel the child TO sub
NIT TO an examination or treatment
for non-contagious inhrmities or de-
fects which concern his own health
only and involve no danger to the
health of others.
Or. Lautner comedies the authority
of the school authorities To make such
regulations and take such measures as
will prevent contamination and the
spread of contagion. and remove the
cause which may menace the health of
the pupils generally But he is thor
oughly opposed to the intimation that
another step be taken and have ,hs
school children examined for non
contagious defects and subject them
to treatment therefor for the allcgcd
reason that their strength and eHi-
cheney viii thereby be promoted and
the general good conserved. To take
such step, he argues, would be an un-
warranted usurpation Of the rights of
the individual and an invasion of the
sacred precincts OF the family.

BIG BASKET BALL GAME.

Against Normalites.

Against Normalites.
What is looked upon as the most
important basket ball game of the sea-
son in the upper peninsula, viii take
place at the college gymnasium at
Houghtcn on Saturday evening, when
the NJ {. NJ. team defends its claim TO
the upper peninsula championship
against the Marquette Normal team.
Last year the NJ. &. NJ. team earned
the right TO claim the upper peninsula
championship, and so far this season
il has as good a record as any team
ia upper Michigan.
Although the college team has had
even breaks with several of the iron
country teams and with the Calumet
Y. NJ c. \. bunch. so far as game 3
are concerneS comparative scores
give the Houghton quint slight adj
vantage over all OF the other aggre-
cations except the Normal team, which
won by a narrow margin in the only
game IN which the teams have opposed
each other at Marquette.
Heretofore the Marquette Normals
have been considered only a small fac
tor in the race, and the game at Mar
quette was arranged more for the pur-
pose OF providing an additional date
than because it was thought the Nor
nal team might win. However, the
result proves that the Marquette five
is entitled 10 consideration and the
college supporters are hoping for a
decisive victory, which viii give them
"a clear claim TO another championship.
