SALMON THRIVE IN ATLANTIC
Humpbacked Variety From Pacific
Coact Retain Their Habits When
Placed in Eastern Waters.
Many thousands of humpback sal
mon. native to the Puget sound, where
they were collected h.v the government
two years ago. entered Pembroke, Den
nys. Penobscot. St. Droll and other riv
ers In eastern Maine as part of the
fisheries bureau plan of stocking the
east with the pride of the Pacific coast
catch.
The bureau's Investigation shows
that the humpback in its new environ
ment retains it* Pacific coast habit of
proceeding to the ocean shortly after
it begins to swim and returning to the
rivers to spawn and die when two
years old.
The government has made annual
shipments of eggs of the humpback
salmon across the continent for the
last five years, drawing the consign
ments alternately from Washington
and Alaska.
Joke Book* for Soldier*.
Making Joke hooks for soldiers Is
the latest form of patriotic Industry
on the part of those who stay at home.
It Is said that the plan originated
with Rudyard Kipling.
A blank book, preferably with large
pages, Is first obtained. Upon the
pages are pasted the funniest pictures
and anecdotes found in current news
papers and magazines. Some bright,
short stories are also included.
The books are then sent to army hos
pitals, where they afford great enter
tainment to convalescent soldiers. Day
after day the hooks arc In steady use
until they are worn out.
Surgeons say nothing is so essential
In the hospital as to keep tlie patients
In good spirits. Toward this end the
Joks hooks are a valuable help.
To Boil Eggs by Telephone.
Telephone operators need u sense
of humor to make the petty annoy
ances of their occupation bearable. If
they have that, they can find endless
matter for amusement In the freHk
Ishne8s of the human natnre that ex
hibits itself at the other end of the
'.vlre.
A telephone subscriber asked his
operator to ring his bell In three mln
tifes, and immediately hung up hls re
ceiver. At the appointed time the su
pervisor rang on the line, and ai
subscriber responded merely with
“Thank you.” Later he called again
to thank the operator, and explained
that he had been boiling eggs and
wanted to time them. They bad been
rooked to the queen’s taste, he said.
The Cow Won.
An official of the board of health In
n Massachusetts town notified a citi
zen that hls license to keep a cow on
hls premises had expired. In reply to
this letter the .official received the fol
lowing communication:
“Monslettr Bord of Holt—I Just get
your notla that my Ucens to keep my
row has expire. I wish to Inform yon,
M’sleur Bord of Helt, that my cow she
beat you to It—qhe expire free week
