HOW THE SALMON TRAVELS
Observer Tells of Fish's Action Wher
it Starts to Ascend a
Waterfall.

Scientists as we'll as laymen tell eX-
traofdinary stories of the wonderful
leaps whereby salmon ascend water
falls. One investigator, who has stud
led HE salmon of southeastern Alaska,
asserts that these fish do not select
n particular point of attack in eli
deaXoring to surmount 4 fall.
They show remarkable lack of ae-
curacy as well as of defniteness, in
their movements. When trying to
ascend fall they sail through the
air, with the body rigid and the fins
spread and held tense, and at the in
slant when the momentum of the jump
is lost they impart rapid and power
full vibration of the tail. This oc-
ours whether the jump is successful or
not.
Should the fish reach water at the
top of the fall this motion insures the
maintenance of its position. In open
water they jump sidewise instead OF
lengthwise, aud there is no movement
of the tail.
