Animal's Favorite Position Is on Its
Book— How Ono 'Throw Scars*
Into Fisherman.
Some of the habits of the sea otter
are very interesting. For example,
an otter.always swims on his back,
his tail serving as a rudder and his
head slightly raised so that by look­
ing over lys shoulder he can shape
his course. When about to_dive, how­
ever, he turns on his stomach, re­
maining in that position while un­
der water, but changing again on
coming to the top. Swimming a few
feet below the surface, an otter very
much resembles a sailor in his oil­
skins. An amusing story is told of a
tourist fisherman who, seeing one of
these animals swimming in this
manner, hurried ashore and related
a wonderful tale about having seen
a sailor man, apparently drowned,
yet swimming with all the vigor of
life-six or seven feet under water;
and who, when he, thinking the man
might be alive, rowed to his assist­
ance, went down and stayed down.'
The fisherman would not believe it
when told that it was probably a sea
otter, and he returned immediately
to his Eastern home convinced he
had received a supernatural warning
