Remember Barnum's what is it?"
Bath has something equally as puZ-
Zling. 1t is strange fish which was
captured recently off the old gas
house wharf by employees of the
Central Maine Power Co. The fish
measured three and one-half feet
long by two and one-half feet in
depth. On its back is a large per-
pendicular fin while beneath it's
stomach is another projecting
straight down into the water. 1t has
no tail, but the end of it's body is
scalloped like a woman's dress. The
mouth is very small, not more than
two or three inches in width. The
fish is narrow and old-time fisher
men who have examined it are at a
loss to understand its means of pro-
pulsion. The skin is rough like
leather and the fish is a stranger to
these waters. Fishermen think it is
some sort of a deep sea specimen
from the North or South which got
into the kennebec where the water
proved too fresh for its existence.
Instead of booze being shipped
from Bar Harbor to Bangor by an
| organized rum gang, as was brought
| out in an investigation by United
| States District Attorney Frederick
r. Dyer of Portland, large quantities
| of liquor are now believed by au-
| thOritieS to be taken from Bangor to
| Bar Harbor. The 900 gallons which
| were sent from Boston to Bangor
| through the Orono station this week
| cannot be located and it is the
| opinion of officers that most of the
| stuff was taken in motor boats down
| the Penohscot to the seacoast. The
| 900 gallons were consigned for use
! of fair patrons, but as the deputies,
i and federal men are keenly on the
watch, the liquor dealers are playing
| safe. The large shipment is being
| broken up into small lots and either
| sent down river or hidden in houses.
In some cases the dealers have placed
wet goods in houses without the
| knowledge of the owners, in order
| to get rid of it quickly.

scRIBNER's FOR JUNE.

From its very beginning Scribner's
Magazine has been famous for its
publication of the letters and remin-
iscences Of noted figures in literature.
In the June number appears a series
of letters, heretofore unpublished
written by George Meredith to Alice
/ Meynell. They are addressed to
Dearest Portia" and reveal a long
friendship and many of Meredith's de-
/ lightful characteristics.

Michael Pupin's From Immigrant
to Inventor" describes his student
days at the University of Berlin
where he came into contact with
Helmholtz, Hertz and other famous
teachers. But, as in all of these arti-

that makes the greatest appeal, and
in this number there are references
revealing the heart of the man under
the mind of the scientist.

regulated athletics serve a most use
full purpose in connection with higher
educational institutions Passing the
actual physical benefits derived by
the individual athletes, the outstand-
ing advantage of college athletics is
the spirit of loyalty to the institution
which it promotes, an asset without
which no college can hope to grow
and retain its prestige. 1t is doubt
less in this spirit that a movement
has been started by members of the
alumni association of the university
to erect a gymnasium at a cost of
$780, 900 and which at the same time
will be a memorial in honor of stu
dents of the university who lost their
lives in the world war The proposal
originated at a recent meeting of Mos
cow alumni and members of the uni
versity faculty. and the matter will
be presented for formal action at the
annual alumni reunion at the univer-
sity in June.
The University of Idaho has won its
way to an enviable position in the
athletic field, and the growth of the
school and increasing interest in ath-
letic sports have rendered the present
gymnasium sadly inadequate to meet
the requirements. This situation and
a desire to honor the memory of stu
dents who fell in the great war repre-
sent the motives back of the move
ment, motives which will make
strong appeal for popular support.
