Hawk Works Hard for LIvIno.

The hawk Is a successful fisherman.
and were its task done with the catch.
Ing Of a fish its lot would be an en-
viable one. But live fish is not de-
sirable as the piece de resistance of q
hawk dinner. so the bird that catches
one always flies around until the fish
is dead. This. we are told, is the In.
variable practice.
Sometimes fish expires quickly.
while at other times hawk must fly
around for hours before 1t can return
home to the waiting family. There
have been times when the fish have dis
played stamina greater than the birds.
This may explain why hawks seldom
pounce on the croaker, most tenacious
Of life Of all fish In the waters round
about.
There Is a well-attested instance Of
a hawk which started to fly around
with croaker 1t had caught and, after
tapping about a whole afternoon and
half night, fell exhausted on the
beach. Fishermen who were attract
ed by the unusual occurrence found
the hawk dead while the croaker, fast
In the lifeless talons, had not croaked.

QUEER SIGHTS ARE SEEN
AT EXAMINATION DEPOT

Camp Kearny, San Diego. Cal,
Oct. 27.-Some queer sights are seen
here when recruits are given physi-
cal examination on the occasion Of
their induction into the army, OBJ
viously, complete examination re-
quires that the men strip. but some
of them interpret this-Sith reserva-
tions.
It is nothing to see 200 pound
recruit ambling briskly along the
line OF medical officers wearing a
pair OF eye glasses and nothing
more. Recently one man, obedient
to the order given him at the en-
trance OF the examination building,
took OFF all his clothes but disobeyed
the order insofar as 1t applied to
hose supporters. Another construed
a wrist watch as not being CLOTHES"
and wore 1t and nothing else
throughout the examination.
One recruit, an Indian, stepped
along, showing such elasticity he
seemed built Of steel springs, while
Immediately behind, him was fat
recruit with knock knees. a picture
OF awkwardness.
Some OF the men look lean and
fit, others are gross and overweight
Very often, especially among Cali
fornia recruits, men are found with
arms and legs tanned rich brown
while the remainder OF their bodies
are quite fair, due to the protection
OF their bathing suits.
