tain from the results of his exper4- ments is that the buck shad being more pugnacio11s and in1bued with the law of reproduction penetrates the un- pleasant waters. of the river hoping to meet the conditions which. nature has provided for the continuation of the species. The female already heavy with spawn balks at the foul waters she meets at. the. mouth of the river and passes on. to. some other more congenia1 stream, Can't Plumb notic- ed that all of the shad which he has been. able to catch so far have been old. =. Some must have been at least ten years of age. Still 1t is possible that a. few females reach the upper stretches and deposit their eggs which are matched and serve to furnish the few fish which annually visit the riv- CT.
 It is hoped that Capt. Plumb will meet with same little success this spring and that his catch will serve to solve the problem. If a few fish still ascend the river it is believed that with the purifying of the waters which come down from the Nauga- tuck valley it is possible to induce this luscious sea fish to become again a regular spring visitor and grace our tables and tickle our pa1ates.

BARRICADE OFFICE
 OF CITY AUDITOR

Fixtures which are to be installed in the city auditors office arrived in the. City hall yesterday and will be put into position at once. When the renovations are complete City Audi tor Keating's office will resemble the office of the tax collector which has barred windows, etc, offering protec- ton to the city funds which are stor- ed in the office.
 City Auditor Heating handles a weekly pay roll of several thousand dollars and under existing conditions it would not be a very hard proposi- tfon for a man who "knew the ropes to relieve the genial city auditor of a nice large sum of money.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 
Cultivate the Habit.

"Sow 8 thought, you reap a word; SOW word, you reap an act; SOW an act, you reap a habit said Thackeray who knew that habits rule our lives The woman who wishes to be beauti- full must cultivate habits which will lead to it's possession. Make a beau ty routine of daily life.
 One of the first steps towards the attainment of beauty, is that you find out what things lead to the desired end, and then make them a daily du- ty.
 man who would have her hips small CT: Sit on the floor, tailor fashion, grasping the left ankle with the left hand. Rock vigorously back and forth-not too long at first, this is a vigorous exercise and easily tires one. It can be practiced for a long CT period after a few days. You twill find this exercise beneficial in more ways than one. It Is splendid for constipation.
 Here is fine breathing exercise which somewhat resembles the Yogi idea and which can be practiced whether one is familiar with the oc- cult teachings on the subject or not. Stand in a room in which the air is as pure as possible. Keep the mind perfectly calm and in this case where the main desire is for beauty, the thoughts must be fixed on beauty. In any case the thoughts must be con centrated on the desired state or con dition.
 Raise the arms slowly over the head-if one counts during this move ment, it must last through twenty-five @ CT thirty counts-and then slowly low CT them. Repeat this seven times; in things occult seven is the magic number.
 Remember, during the whole exer- else your mind must be firmly fixed on the desired end. For example, if you desire beauty, affirm that you are beautiful and feel that with each long deep breath you are breathing in beauty. This doesn't mean you must clinch your hands and repeat the af- frmation with such intensity that by the tirrn you have finished you are

BRIDGEPORT TO BE FIRST CITY TO GET
 MAINE MEMORIAL
Enterprise of N. w. Bishop Camp Is to Be Thanked for City'S
 Distinction

Commander Cassius B. Dietz or Lieut.. N. w. Bishop Camp, United Spanish War Veterans of this city, re- ceived word to-day that Maine Me moriaI Tablet No 10 had been spe- cially cast. prepared for shipment and was now on the way here Com mandant H. P. Jones of the Washing ton Navy Yard stated in his letter to Commander Dietz that a check snould be made payable to him and aodress- ed to the Naval Gun Factory, Wash Ington, D. c. to cover the cost of cast Ing and preparation for shipping. The freight charges will have to be &s- sumed by Bishop Camp.
 Six thousand pounds of relics from the U. s. S. Maine, which were taken from the battleship before ens was lowed out to sea from Havana and given her final resting place. were first sent to the Naval gun factory at the Washington Navy yard where they were melted together, purified and cast into thirty pound ingots. They were subsequently, sent to the John williams bronze foundry, 556 West Twenty-Seventh St, New York City 10 be cast into a fitting and permanent memorial.
 The design, after extensive compe- tition. was made by Charles Keck Of New York one of the foremost sculp- tors of the country, and is very hand
 
 a natural bronze finish, weigh twelve and one half pounds, and measure IS by IS inches They are being sent to various patriotic societies, n1uni- cipaIities, military and naval soc1e- ties. and former officers and crew of the iIl-fated battleship or their heirs and representatives, in the order of receipt of applications by the Navy Department. One thousand in all will be distributed.
 The tablet contains the words "In AIemoriam'' near the top and at the bottom the words ''U. s. s. Maine, de- stroyed in Havana 5harbor. Feb. l 5, 1898" It also contains a statement zo the effect that This tablet is cast from metal recovered from the U. s. S. Maine" There is also on the tablet a beautiful symbolic figure of Liberty mourning at the wreck of the battle ship which is seen in the distance half sunken in the waters of the harbor.
 The Secretary of the Navy received number one and other prominent of fcials received the others up to num- Der ten now on it's way to Bridge port. That Bridgeport was so far up on the list of applications is un- doubtedIy due to the enterprise of Bishop Camp in applying early and to the effective cooperation of Postmas- ter William H. MarigoId who brought the matter to the attention of federal authorities while in Washington upon a business trip early in the year.
 It is a matter of keen regret that the memorial did not arrive earlier so that it might bt fittingly dedicated in some appropriate public resting place in connection with the coming Mem oriaI Day exercises.- This matter is now under discussion by the Spanish War Veterans and a. suitable position for it's final location will soon be located and dedication with proper exercises will undoubtedly follow.

POINTS OF INTEREST.
Memorial Day Flowers.

There is no day in the whole year when there is such large demand for Cut Flowers and Towering Plants for the decorating of the graves of depart ed ones as on Memorial Day, and to meet this large and ever increasing demand John Beck & Son, leading florists, have made all preparations for this occasion having on hand a much larger supply than ever before Of beautiful Cut Flowers and pretty Towering Plants.

IS THE AUTOMOBILE
 MAKING US FAT?

Tn the June American Magazine. Walter Prichard Eaton writes about The Joys of the True Walker and gives some of his personal experiences, an extract from which follows:
 There are so many lost arts nova |? days that one hesitates> to add any more. We are told that letter writing is lost art, and converse ton. We are sure that doing nothing must be, because so many women develop neu- rasthenia when they attempt to prac- tice it. The critics of the drama as- sure us that acting is, and the crit 1cs Of opera. that singing is, and the critics of literature that poetry iss
 Yet at the danger Of oVercrowding the mortuary chapel of the Arts, a. long observation of our highways, by ways, and mountain trails has pur- suaded us that the art of walking has now periehed also, and must be as- signed to the same resting place No body walks any more, except the Ap- paIachian club, the Boy Scouts and President John Finley, of the College of the City of New York-really walks that Is. Walking Is still practiced (as little as possible) utilitarianly. any New York women, for example totter on dizzy heels from their mo- tors at the curb all the way across the sidewalk But as an art it is no longer practiced. The secret has been forgotten by all save a chosen few of whom of course we are one.
 I've hold no brief against motors. Whats the use? Besides, they are very useful things in getting you to a convenient starting point for a walk. The only trouble with motors is that people stay in them. The Yankee used to be Iank and sinewy. Pioneers and pedestrians are always more or less sinewy. But the motors are al- tering our type. We are growing fat and soft footed. The man who takes a twenty-mile walk for the fun of it Is looked upon as a mild sort of luna tic Why walk when motor will get you there much quicker?
