A new ratio went into effect in 1851.
Letters were carried as far as three
thousand miles for three cents or far

the regulations were amended so that

Seals Lured to Death by Music.

Photographic music lured scores of
deaths last summer, according TO Ed
Corfee, who spent several months at
Useless, Mutiny and Cultus bays, south
of Seattle, killing seals that prey upon
salmon. Corfee is a hunter employed
by the Washington fish and game COM
mission. A monograph and a rifle
were the principal items in Corfee's
outfit. According to his statement, the
seals came out of the water to listen
to the music. Whenever a seal put his
head above the surface Corfee's rifle
spoke and the seal dropped. Each seal
is said to be able to destroy $1,000
worth of salmon year.
