Bear Tears Tree to Pieces
Searching for Hidden Honey


Bears have great liking for
honey. A report from Pennsylvania
tells how while a man was engaged
in removing some rich wild honey
from the trunk of tree, big bear
made his appearance. The man,
dumfounded, watched the bear un-
til it was within distance of about
80 feet of him. Then he decided
to get away. About the same time
bruin scented the honey and started
on the run for the tree which con-
tanned it. On the following day the
man found that the bear ii; d not only
eaten the honey that he had placed in
two pals, but had torn the trunk Of
the tree to splinters and secured the
honey remaining in the tree.

THE PINES

W. ~ - ~ - -
Couldst thou, Great Fairy, give to me,
The instant's wish that / might see
of all the earth's that one dear sight
known only in a dreams delight.
q would, beneath some island steep,
In some remote and sunbrignt deep,
See high in heaven above me now
IA palm tree wave its rhythmic bough!
And yet this old pines naughty crown.
Shaking It's clouds OF silver down,
whispers me snatches Of strange tunes
And rnurmurs of those awful runes
(which tell by subtle spell and power
of secret sympathies. the hour
when far in the dark north the snow
Among great bergs begins to blow.
May. thou sweet South of heats and balms
Keep all thy proud and plumy palms,
IKeep all thy fragrant fiowery ease,
Thy purple skies, thy purple seas!
These boughs of blessings shall not fail,
These voices singing in the gale,
The yigor of these mighty lines:
q will content me with my pines

A Fishway Demanded.

The right OF Ellsworth to demand
that fshway be built in the Union
river dam, has been demonstrated
within the past few days. There are
many aiewives now liz the river, seek
ing way to fresh water TO spawn.
They are being dipped every day at
the foot OF the dam, which they can
not get over. Many more would
come yearly, if they could reach
spawning waters. Tie Importance
to which the alewive fishery might
be developed here is illustrated by
the neighboring town of Surry,
which reaps a harvest OF hundreds
of dollars yearly from the sale of
alewives.
Many salmon also have been caught
at the foot OF the dam, most of them
small to be sure, weighing from one
to three pounds, but occasionally
larger ones are taken. Monday Leon
Stewart hooked and landed below the
dam salmon weighing nine and one
quarter pounds. Mr.. Smith, the fsh
market man, pronounced it a sea
salmon. But whether a sea salmon
or landlocked salmon Originally a
sea salmon), the fact remains that it
was trying TO get TO fresh water, and
could not because there is no fshway
in the dam.
The law says that fishways must be
maintained in dams on rivers fire.
quented by migratory fish. Alewives
are undisputedly migratory fish, and
the landlocked salmon is also, by
nature, a migratory fish. 1t is imma-
terial whether the salmon caught be-
low the dam are sea salmon or land
locked salmon; it is immaterial
whether any salmon frequent the
river. The fact that alewives frequent
the river establishes the right OF the
people Of Ellsworth to demand fish
way in the dam.
A petition was presented to
tte 6,h and game commissioners in
regard 10 this matter, several months
ago. So far as any official aeknow-
ledgment Of it is concerned, it see ms
to have been ignored, although we
know that Com missioner Parsons and
Chief Warden Perkins dropped into
town for few minutes a short time
ago, took walk up 10 the dam and
looked NJ the water coming over.
We want Commissioner Parsons to
come down here now and stand on
Union -iver bridge and watch the
aiewives going up; we want him to
grant the petitioners from Ellsworth
hearing on their petition, and the
sooner tie better.
