STATE HOUSE

Curator Thomas A. James of the
State museum is very much pleased
with the possibility that two of the al
bino salmon recently introduced into
the new aquarium may live. Only two
lived out of the original six brought
from the Camden hatchery. One of
these had appeared for two or three
days to be about on the point of eX-
pring, but Monday it was active in
the tank again The other one has
shown no signs of weakness since it
came. The curator thinks there is a
possibility. even a probability, that
both specimens may live. If they do
live they will be the only exhibitions
of the kind in the country.
