BROOK FISH.
Why They Do Mot Get Carried Away

Ii you watch school Of minnows in
some stream that has strong and
swift current you will see that they
always head upstream. The reason
is plain. Only by constantly swim
ming against the current can the brook
fish remain a brook fish and not final
ly be carried out TO sea, as the brook
empties into river, and the river
empties into the ocean. But we can
uot suppose that the brook fish knows
that this will happen If II weakly al
lows the stream to carry 1t along. The
young minnow is born with the in
stinct to resist the dow Of the brook.
The most natural supposition would
be that the instinct amounts TO ten

shown that 1t is not the sense OF

POSTMASTERS ARE AGENTS.

Carrying Out President Wilson's Idea,

Tested and Found to Be Practical
and Satisfactory.
Washington.-A national employment
bureau reaching into every section OF
the United States has been put in op-
GRAFTON 10y the department of labor,
carrying out the suggestion of Presi-
dent Wilson in the indianapolis speech
for "a systematic method of helping
the workingmen of America"
Preliminary work for the bureau was
completed by Commissioner Caminetti
of the Immigration bureau and in
structions sent to the thousands of
postmasters and rural mail carriers
throughout the country and to nearly
100000 field agents OF the department
of agriculture. who are cooperating
with the labor department to bring the
jobless man and the manless job to-
gether.
All agents Of the immigration bureau
also participate i'm the huge task, Mr.
Caminetti said
The general plan Of the employment
bureau was outlined by Nr. Caminettl

scenery" on the banks or bottom OF
the stream.
The experiments that proved this
were performed some years ago by
Professor Il. r. Lyon. He put some
little fish into bottle filled with wa
tel and corked the bottle, which he
then placed In an aquarium, whose
sides had seaweed upon them. When
he moved the bottle along by the wall
all the fish crowded to the hinder end
of the bottle. or course there was no
current I'm the bottle. The lsh were
trying to keep alongside that part of
the seaweed covered wall that was op-
posite them before the bottle was
moved.
In another experiment the professor
reversed the conditions. He made q
wooden box with wire netting at each
end. Its bottom he covered with sand
and its inner sides with seaweed. Then
be put the fish into this box and plac-

fish. unless they made head against
the stream. were carried along past
their landmarks on the sides and bot
tom of the box. But when the box
foated along with them they carried
their landmarks with them, and so
they made no opposition to being
swept along by the stream.-Youth'

Chief of Chicago Police.
Chicago.-That an innocent man was
executed here in 1894, when George
III. Palmer was hanged for the murder
of Alice Martin. Is the statement made
in letter received by Chief of Police
Gleason from a person signing himself

guilty.
Alice Martin. Painters sweetheart,
was beaten to death In 1891, and Paint
er was arrested nine months later.
After two years Of lighting the prison
er was convicted and executed. On
the scaffold he said:
IF | killed Alice Martin. the girl
dearly loved, the woman l loved so
much that would almost commit any
crime for her. pray this minute, my
last minute on earth. that the eternal
God will put me into eternal hell
The condemned man raised his voice
and continued:
Look here, gentlemen. if there Is
one man among you who is an Ameri-
can | say to him on his soul-on his
soul. / say-see that the murderer of
Alice Martin is found"
The scaffold prayer was delivered by
the Rev. A. p. Moerdyke. who said:
May he whom so many believe in
nocent OF this crime join thee in ever
lasting life for the sake, o Lord, Of
thy son Jesus Christ, our Lord"
Gleason said he would take no steps
in the matter except to look for Paint
er's relatives to make known to them

In announcing the readiness of the
system. Commissioner Caminetti said
the plan was not a mushroom growth,
but the product of months of labor over
details. Already. he said, it had been
tried out in a small way. and the re-
suits had been most satisfactory. After
the fire at Salem. Mass. last June.
when nearly 1000 factory operatives
were thrown out of employment. the

MUST REPAIR BRIDGE
Administrative Board Forwards E.nEi-
necr's Report to Street Chr Company.

Tho Administrative Board forwarded
To the Virginia Railway and Power
Company yesterday report on tho
condition OF the First and Fifth street
viaducts. prepared by Engineer +. w
Scarborough. from which it appears
that while both bridges are In n safe
condition, both are in need Of immed:-
ate repairs--particularly the First
Street bridge.
According to Mr.. Scarborough tho
First Street viaduct is light in struc-
ture and Is now carrying loads at least
so per cent heavier than it was de-
signed for. In the opinion Of Mt. Scar
borough. 1t would not be practicable
to run two steel cars hitched together
across the First Street bridge unless
the structure is materially strength
ened. According to his report, the
structure is not good for more than
five or ten years of service
The Fifth Street viaduct is declarea
by Mr.. Scarborough to be in better
shape. Double header street cars can
pass over 1T in safety. The report was
forwarded to the Virginia Railway and
Power Company with tho request that
1t make the repairs suggested
