LARGE HYBRID SALMON
 BRED BY PROF. SMITH

Hybrid salmon, twice the size of King salmon, have been bred at the University of Washington by Prof E. Victor Smith, of the department of zoology. Tie hy. brids- are the result of the ckassing of King and Dog varieties and pr. Smith has found they are larger when the offspring of fe- male King and Dog male, rather than the reverse.
 More than 10000 young King Silver and Dog salmon are. being studied in the campus aquarium, and several thousand eggs ob- tained from the hatchery at Au- burn will be wriggling minnows in January. These latter are of both pure and crossed strains.
 An attempt is being made to determine the cause of the slow growth of the salmon in the win ter. There are two possible ex- plantations, one the coldness of the water and the other } lack of food. Young salmon are being put to the starvation test in warm water, and others are being we'll fed on ground liver and kept in running water of unregulated temperature. The effect on the growth under both conditions will be observed.-Pacihc Fish arman.

needed the votes which he could

needed the votes which he could secure to further their own ends ends which, 1t may be easily surmised, are not usually rooted in desire for the public veal. And all this is possible simply be- cause the general public give lit tie or no heed to politics or poh- tical issues, aside from ] casting
 their vote for the candidate which happens to be nominated by the party to which they in cline without understanding either its policies or aims. Such a condition cannot but make for bad government. To vote for man simply because he is a Ger man, an Irishman, or an Ameri- can, or, worse still, because he is good fellow" as we do in Nome, is not only the height Of foolishness but is also indicative of mighty poor quality of citi- zenship. The voter who casts his ballot without knowing just what he is voting for and why he is voting for it is guilty of all offense against the public good. Yet that is just what the major ity of us do. We go to the polls. make hasty choice of candi- dates, cast our ballot and then re- tire, calmly assured that we have done our duty. AS a general thing all we have done is to make alarmed fools of ourselves by vot- ing into office those to whose merits or capabilities we have given no more than momentary thought. That, however, is not the worst feature of our Attitude. Our greatest fault is that we do not pay attention to politics at the time when policies are being shaped and candidates chosen. We never think of such a thing
 
 IS looking to see that men of worth, men of capacity, are placed before the voters. We give no heed whatever to the rais- ng of issues whereby the condi- :lons of our civic life may be i'm proved or the community benefit ed. We pay not the slightest at- .ention to these things, thereby eaving it to the interested ones .o engineer things to suit them selves in the making of tickets md policies. They are always on , he job looking out that things go , 0 suit themselves, while the pub ic, the ones who should be all , means be doing the choosing, content themselves with accept ng what they give. The result $ that the voters nearly always nave a chance to kick themselves hard after the election is over and the wisdom or folly of their choice becomes apparent.

Although the annual municipal

Although the annual municipal eleSuUnS aIe Unly ten uayS away anu We are aUoat to inauguraIe an enIlIeIy new syS1eln OI pro- ceuule III me seIeGIlon ot our p4nAcipal munlclpal Oncers, there seems to De the same oIQ apathy on the part or the pubnc that naS at all tlnieS been the most prom inent feature Ot local elections Outside of the few candidates who nave announced themselves, together Wltn few who are what may De dcslgnated as politically incnned, Ill that they are always acuve III pOiltlcal matters, there IS very llttle interest being dis piayeu. Ine great majority prob a0ly consider that poiitlcs are so.netning in the nature of a necessary evil, something to be got through with as quickly and easily as possible, and, conse- quently, gIve but little thought to pohtlcal issues or to those who are placed before them as candi- dates tor office. Very few stop to think, however, that Tn assuming an attitude of this character they are perhaps doing not only them n trlDutng to conditions which form oistressing features of our poltlcal system.
 It IS in tnIs same apathetic ten- dency on the part ot the general puDhc that machine politics, bos- sism ana general polieical corrup- ton have their start and obtain 2 the food on which they flourish and fatten.
 In almost every case political evils are the direct result of the failure of the general public to take an active hand in politics, thereby permitting political mat ters to be guided and controlled by a small number of people who. needless 10 say, do not fail to take advantage of the opportuni- ty to fix things up to suit them- selves. As a consequence those who are placed in otnce usually do not, in any sense, represent the a~1uaI cnoIce of the people,
 ave Tn the degree that the people elect them to office after they have been selected by the few who take an active interest in pol itics-largely because it pays to do so. 1t IS hardly to be doubted that i'll nine elections out of ten the average voter has little or no
 lowledge of either the qualifca- tions or the worth of the person for whom they cast their ballot. Indeed, this condition is so pro- nounced that, in many cases, can didates are selected, not for their capabilities, not for their personal worth, but simply because they can carry a certain class of the voters. Many a candidate has been placed on ticket simply because he could swing the Irish or the German vote. The politic- ians who placed him there cared not tinkers hang whether he was a nt candidate or not. They
