pelican fishermen fall constant vic tins to the most powerful and swift flying pirate of the air. the frigate bird, or man-o'-war bird, a small bodied, long winged, forked-tailed, black-robe-d robber that swoops and scars and sails about continually on the lookout for prize.
 Pelicans. cOrmorants, gulls, terms, boobies, herons cranes ospreys and i fact any bird which the pirate dis cerns with captured fish proves fair prey for the frigate bird that with lightning speed drops like a bullet from far above toward the unsuspect- ing victim If the object of his at bird sWOOps upon it and by sharp biows of beak and pinions causes it to drop it's prey, which is seized ere it touches water or ground. Pelicans, however, keep their finny catches securely locked within their pouch while in flight. but in order to sWal- low the fish they toss it upward in the air, catch it as it falls, and sWaI- lows it head first This brief second pl oVides the opportunity for the rob Der and l have frequently seen frigate bird sWoop down. seize fish while in the air between the pouch of the pelican and it's throat. and without checking it's flight wheel about and repeat the operation as the stupid pelican tossed another fish pWard.-"Harper.s Book for Young Naturalists.", by A.

BIRD ROBBERS ON THE SEA

Many species of sea-birds arc pi- lates or robbers, and, in fact the ma ioritv of feathered freebooters are found among water birds, just as the worst human robbers were the pirat- cal sea rovers If old Several species of gulls prey largely upon the eggs of other birds during the breeding season. and the beautiful black headed F'ranklin's gull supsists almost wholly upon the eggs and young of the grebes during the early summer. To make his raids easy and certain, this handsome robber builds his nest iu the midst of grebe colonies and helps himself to his neighbours prop erty whenever he sees fit. oddly enough. the grebes fail to profit by past experience. and permit the Gulls to live among them year after wear.
 Nearly all the larger suIls feed to a considerable extent upon the eggs and young of other seabirds; but the great glaucus, or bu'gomaster gull, Is not content with this, but attacks and robs fuH-S -SroWn gulls of other species. as well as the guillemots, aUks. puftins. and cormorarts. and ali seabirds that live in his vicinity dwell in constant fear of the broad winged bully that robs when and where he pleases, and spares neither large nor small.
 In northern waters the bitter" is often bitten, however, for the gulIs themselves frequently fall easy vic tims to the swift winged jaegers and siluas-birds fitted by nature for the life they lead.

 NEW YORK. Sept. 15.-ReallZlhg sales today checked the advance m stocks.

Favorite stocks were un- loaded in round amounts at the open ing.

 GOES ON SLOWLY
Only About 125 Had Regis tered Up to Close of Re corder's Office Yesterday and Prospective Voters Must Hurry.

Although the books for registration for the proposed charter and municipal bond elections were opened last Thurs day in the office of City Recorder Frank Thomas in the city hall building, only about 125 citizens had aVailed themselves of the opportunity to qual- fly for voting on either of these sub jects to to the hour yesterday evening when the office closed. Of this number it is estimated that about twenty per cent are women.
 At the last charter election there was a registration of 1738 and total vote cast of 1925. The registration and cleo ton was held before suffrage had been granted women and no Woman's name appeared upon the register This time women and men alike are entitled to vote if they have residential and edu- cational qualifications. With all that has been said and done in the matter of rousing interest in the approaching elections. both of winch occur on Oc tober II, wonder is expressed at the failure to witness a heavier registra- tion in the first four working days.
 From now on il is expected that the number registering daily will gradually increase The tendency upon the part of the average individual is to put this duty off until the eleventh hour and then to forget when registration closes. thereby effectually defeating the priv ilege of expressing an opinion on live subjects
 Recorder Thomas has an adequate force of registrars on hand and there are no long waits It will take but minute or two to register and then dis appointment at being unable to vote on election day is avoided. Register today

STRAY TOPICS FROM NEW YORK

NEW YORK, September 14.-The new city directory for the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx has just been issued. It is a quite respectably huge volume, containing about 580,000 names against 5690 900 in last years issue. Of course, the number of names contained in the directory does not give the slightest hint as to the number of persons living in these two borOughs. Tn the first place the directory contains many thousand names of persons not actually living in Manhattan and the Bronx but merely Workig there. Furthermore it must be taken into consideration tEat only the names of grOWn-up persons are enumerated Figuring that each name represents on the av- craze a family of four the names in the latest directory would represent population of about two millions.
 The population in Manhattan is very unevenly distributed. In some districts the population per acre is quite insignificant, while other dis tricts, like those on the lower east side are tremendously congested. The most congested block in New York city is on the east side of Manhattan south of Williamsburg bridge. It is said to contain 5000 persons. A count made by charity society re- gently showed that in 122 Manhattan IlocAs there were 312, 900 persons,- more than the total populations of either Jersey City, Louisville, Kansas City, Providence. Rochester, St. Paul or Indianapolis.
 Labor Day in late years has be- come the day which marks the close of the vacation season and on which all vacationists within 800 miles of New York city return to their daily routine of work In their desire to enjoy their vacations to the last mo ment the vacationists overlook or pay no attention to the fact that the sudden thrush of thousands of travel CTS is bound to cOngest and embar 1ass the railroad lines leading to the city. On Labor Day this year more than 750,000 persons poured into the city, while at the same time more than 3OO,O ,O0O left the city for their homes in the west south or New England. It will easily be under stood that the capacity of the various railway lines was taxed to its utmost and that the officials of the various lines had plenty of work to keep them

Tobacco Habit
 Easily Conquered

A we'll known New Yorker who has had wide experience. has written book telling how the tobacco or snuff habit may be easily banished in three days without any return of the craving.
 The health improves wonderfully after the nicotine poison is out of the system. Calmness, tranquil sleep, clear eyes, normal appetite, good di- gestion, manly vigor, strong memory and a general gain in efficiency are among the many benefits reported. No more of that nervous feeling; no more need of pipe, cigar cigarette or chewing tobacco to pacify the morbid desire. The author, Edw. J. Woods, 534 Sixth Ave, 594P.

REV. S. H. WOODROW
ACCEPTS ST. LOUIS CALL
To Leave First Congregational
Church Here-Warns Against
Hasty Marriages.

Rev. Samuel HI. Woodrow has resigned
as pastor of the First Congregational
Church here and will go to st. Louis. At
the morning service yesterday he read
a letter to his congregation reviewing
his work here. He told how deeply he
regretted leaving, but he felt that he
was needed more in st. Louis. His resig-
Nation will take effect June 9, but his
active labors here will terminate April u.
A warning that matrimony should not
be ventured into lightly was sounded by
Mr. Woodrow in his sermon last
night. Marriage, he said. is no joke,
and means either woe or bliss. All
men who are physically and mentally
sound and of good moral character should
look forward to marriage as the goal of
life, he declared.
The happiest marriages, he said, are those
between men and women of the same
race, same religion and same nationality.
There must be certain compatibilitfes
of age, temper and social position for a
successful marriage, he continued, and
good looks, good nature and good char
acter are very desirable qualities for a
wife.
