DETAILS OF DECISION
 ON PEDDLER'S LICENSE

Ketchikan - At the opening of the court for business during the last term held in this city, the case of A. GIeenbauu appellant, ys. the City of KeCehikau, in which a conviction was had for a breach of the provision of an ordinance requir ing peddlers to obtain a license for the privilege of doing business with in the city limits, came up for a hearing.
 The appellants attorney, c. H. CosgroYe, in his argument contend ed that the ordinance under which his client had been found guilty, and a fine imposed, was null and void. That the council had no au- thority to impose such a tax, and brought some authority in support of his contentious. Attorney Jas M. Shoup, who represented the city, denied Mir. CosgrCYe's contention, and made it clear to the court that the city, as @ duly incorporated community had a well defined pow CT to regulate peddIers, in that it came under the mead of Police Re gulations." MT. Shoup offered in- numerable authorities to support his point. The court, however, declined and remarked that incorporated towns in Alaska have the power un- der the police regulations to re- quire Oeddlers to first obtain a li- cense before peddling within the city limits.
 The only question which the cour refrained from answering was as to whether the fee of ten dollars i'm posed upon peddleTB by the or was reasonable or not, and held the answer to give 1t further consideration-ProgressiYe-Miner.

WOMAN CATCHES FISH
 WITH HEAD LIKE DOG

A fish, without scales and with q head shaped like a dogs, the. third of it's species known eyer to have existed and said to be the only perfect specimen, is eXhibited by Prof. Trevor Kincaid at the University of Washington. The first specimen found is iD the National museum at Washington, D. G. and the second and third are at the university.
 The acrotus Winoughbyi, as it is known scientifically, was sent to Prof. KiDcaid by Mrs. Mabel Weller who caught it recently at Gig liar bor. The fish was on exhibition at Tacoma for a lew days, but was not identified until it reached the university.
 The species is distinct from any other, according to the biologist. It has been chased with the raglish family, which it most closely re- sembles, but Prof. Kincaid believes that a careful study, such as he plans to make, will show that it belongs in a separate family, which has no other representative.
 Acrotus WiIloughbyi, in the three specimens found, is more than five feet in length, The two pelvic fins near the head with which most fish are provided, are not there, al though the pectUraI fins are in their normal position below. The dorsaI and ventral fins, running along the body above and below are long and narrow. The teeth are so small as to be almost in visible.
 In 1887 Charles WilIOughbys the1 Indian agent at the QuinauIt lTeser' vation, found the first specimen ot the fish thrown up on the shore by storm, and sent it to the Nation al museum. The fish, which was considerably battered, was five feel three Inches in length. The second specimen was sent to the university several years ago by local fish brok | CTS, but had been badly cut by fish 8 ermen. That caught by Mrs. Weller N proved a mystery to the fishermer H at Gig HarbOr, who decided that il must have been a deep water vari
 ety which had wandered into tht 1 Sound. It is five feet ten inches il length.
 1 The last found speCiment is il perfect condition and is being pre- ! served in the zoology laboratory, ] 1 close study of the body and struc
 ture of the skeleton is necessary
 Pros Kincaid says, before the ques tion of whether l. should go int 1 a separate family can be deter mined. The ragfish, which it mos resembles is native to the Pacifi coast.--seattle P,-L A
