Big Salmon Dies
One of the big salmon, the female of
the pair that has attracted so much at
tention in the aquarium at the State Mu-
scum, state House, is no more, much to
the regret of Curator James and every
one else who knew her. The big fish be-
came sick, but apparently no more so
than many another which Mr.. James has
coaxed back to good health and he fully
expected to do the same with this one,
but she kept growing worse and worse
died. The funeral was private, but the
remains were buried, like those Of any
other pet.
The pair Of salmon had been in the
aquarium nearly two years coming from
the State hatchery at Lake Auburn and
being old fish when brought here. They
had always been kept together and had
increased in size until they would weigh
about seven pounds each, very sizeable
fish and handsome specimens, of which
Mr.. James was very proud.
Now comes the peculiar part, which
may ne sized up to suit yourselves. as
either showing that the old bull salmon
missed his mate and could not stand the
loneliness of the big tank without her
or that his action was more of an acct
dent; but, anyway. he now occupies an
other tank, on the other side Of the aqua
rum and to which Curator James de-
clared the fish leaned To do this he had
to Jump about two feet into the air and
over The concrete dividing wall. but there
he is, in among the white perch and ap-
paren.ly as contented as though he had
been there all the time, You're not
obliged to believe it-hut there he Is.

a policy that has been adopted and
followed out by Adjutant General
Presson has already and will continue
to bring good results for the men sent
from this State to the many training
camps and various military branches,
and that is to send with each contin-
gent a memorandum stating in detail
the accomplishments Of each man, tell
ing just what he is adapted and fitted
for, Fhat he prefers and what he can
best do, SO that the officers can tell
at once just what to do with the man.
as each ones case is reached 1t will
mean a whole lot for the rating or
standing and the opportunities for ad-
Nancement of the Maine men.
