Watchinu the Seals.

Visitors at the Aquarium never tire of watching the harbur seals, and one thing that pieases them particularly is to see the seals falI of ther table when they go to sleep In the middle of the pool for the seals there are two low tables, their tops are just above the water. on which The seals climb out to sleep or to rest. And some times one or another of the seals wilt climb out of the water to one ot those tables and lie there on 1t, maybe close along the edge of one side and per haps with it's head and forward part of It's body hanging over the edge of the table in front apparently all the time in imminent danger Of rolling off the table at the side or of pitching ofT head first into the water in front. And when a seal lies on table like that. sleeping or dozing, people stand around the pool watching and waiting for the seal to fall off He won't hurt himself when he does fall he will sim ply fall off into the water. but old and young men. women and children, will stand there with keen interest silent iy watching and waiting for that seal to fall. And If they stay long enough. as they are pretty sure to do. they are rewarded New York Times.
