Adjustable Golf Stick.

There has recently been put on the
market a golf club the head OF which
is formed to permit the convenient In
terchangeability of heads or striking
faces. Each of the head pieces has
two faces, either Of which may be adj
justed into playing position. There are
several different forms of head, each
being INTERCHANGEABLE applied to the
head of the club, SO that each loose
head is the equivalent of two ordinary
clubs and by carrying a number of
loose heads the necessity of carrying
numerous clubs will be avoided.

An Enenlaaa Eor Golfer.

An Englishman has recently invent
ed an optical instrument for golfers
that can be worn over the eyes like a
spectacle and by which the sight of
the player is concentrated on the ball,
the Opaque "blinkers" having a rela-
lively small aperture through which
and through which alone, the wearer
can see and thus the distance in front
and behind the ball is so small that
he must see 1t definitely, and he is thus
compelled to keep his eye on the ball
The blinkers are adjustable so they car
be set to suit the eyes of different per
sons.-Scientific American.

Never before have fishermen found
such large salmon in the upper waters
Of the Yakima river, Washington, and
its tributaries as they have the past
spring. By some the condition is at

North Yakima has, so far at least, the
biggest fish story to tell They
brought in, after one hour and forty
two minutes hard work, a Chinook
salmon weighing twenty-four pounds
and measuring forty and one-quarter
inches. which they took in the Tieton
river, and with 1t nine others, the small.
est of which weighed nine pounds.
