Few beliefs an- older or more wide spread than ilmt auiiuals, and espe cially wild animals, have foreknowl edge of what ic weuthei Is to be, and something that amounts to such fore knowledge many of them doubtless do possess, but there is no reason, and only poor excuses, for assuming that there Is a source of Information accu rate enough and of application remote enough to give any appreciable exten sion to the weather bureau's prognostications.

One sees them curry lux Immense burdens without ex ertion, swimming In the open sea for an hour or two at a time while spear ing fish, loallng ashore with no great er apparent effort for yet longer periods. Sometimes, when they have It, they eat enormous quantities of food at one sitting, and at others, under necessity, aa sparingly as so many dyspeptic. It would be Impossible to formulate from their example any rules for rational living In more civilised communities. The dally quest for food under primi tive conditions keeps them alert and sound of hotly, so that, whether they work or loaf, feast or fast, they seem always to acquire health by It. I thought of the strange appearance certain of the chief men In America or France or England would make un der similar circumstances, deprived of the kindly concealment ef clothing. Wbat revelation It would be of skin nlness or pudginesa t What an exhibi tion of scrawny necks, fat stomachs, flat chests, flabby arms I To be strictly accurate, I had seen some . fat stomachs among elderly Paumotuans. but they were excep tions, and always remarkable tor that reason. And those who carried them had sturdy legs. They did not give one the uneasy feeling, common at home, at the sight of the great paunches of sedentary men toppling unsteadily along a strip of crimson carpet, from curb to club doorway.
