there it remains until the parrot fish

BIRD DOESN'T HAVE TO FLY
Washington Specimen Uses the Street
Car as His Particular Means
of Transportation. .

Now that spring is here it may in
terest bird lovers to know that at
least one bird has solved the problem
of transportation without the use OF
wings.
Birds are famous for their migra-
lions, but hitherto they always have
used wing power. Now comes along
one local bird who gets himself from
place to place with scarcely the flap
of wing.
This bird came riding down Penn
sylvnnla avenue about eleven o'clock
ono morning last week. He was
perched on the roof of street car
coming from Georgetown.
When the car stopped at Eleventh
street the bird alighted, and walked
gravely up and down the platform
He was fine. big fellow. with black
body and blue head, but did not look
like blackbird.
After surveying the post office de-
partment for bit, the bird few over
to a car about TO leave for Mount YER
non, and established himself on the
roof.
When the ear pulled out, the bird
was with it.-Washington Star.

Robins are growing fat on worms in
