DO FLYING FISH FLY?
Scitnce . Thinks Not, but Many Ob
servora Say They Do.
The much mooted question, "Do fly
ing fish fly? Is discussed by William
Alllngbam In the Nautical Magazine.
The orthodox scientific opinion Is that
the "wings" of tho dying fish merely
nerve aa a parachute to sustain the fish
for a brief period in the air after bo
has launched himself out of the water
by a powerful screwlike movement of
bis tall. According to this view, tho
fish has no power of directing his
flight after be has left tbe water.
However. Mr. Alllngaam. who Is a
nautical expert attached to the British
meteorological office and Is In constant
Intercourse with seamen, reports many
observations that tend to controvert
this opinion. Certain observers claim
that tbe wing fins are In constant rapid
vibration and seem actually to serve
tbe purpose of flight. One vessel mas
ter watched a fish that bad attained an
altitude of twenty feet aboro tbe water
and was flying toward the mlzxen rig,
King of bis ship when, apparently
noticing obstruction. It changed Its
course about CO degrees, crossing tbe
vessel's stern to regain tbe water.
Many other similar observations are
mentioned.
A series of cinematograph pictures
might solve this question onco and for
alt. Scientific American.

Those who passed with conditions,

Sir. Myers nnnouncea that thoso
who failed, as well ns thoso who gut
through with conditions may try
ngaln on Juno 5 and 6.
Commenting on tho results shown
by tlio llend pupils. Principal Shouso
made tho following statement:
"Eisht sixth grado pupils took ad
vantage of permission to take tho
eighth grade examination In physi
ology, a subject which Is not studied
beyond the sixth grade. Of these
eight, six passed thoso six who have
tlono all their sixth nnd eighth gradn
work In Uond: tho two who failed
have entered the llcnd school since
the opening of school In tho fall, one
of them ns Into ns March.
"Of thoso who have been In the
eighth grade, eleven of tho A class
took the examination this spring. Of
these eleven, four passed all of their
examinations and ' two wcro condi
tioned In one subject each, ono ot
these conditions being due to the fact
that a certificate from Minnesota
was submitted In lieu of an examina
tion In geography, but was not recog
nized although similar certificates
were accepted last year: the other
condition was In tho case of a girl
whose average In subjects other than
the one In which tho condition was
.mposed was an even 90. Of tho five
who failed, only one has dono the
entire work of the seventh and eighth
grades In Ucnd (It must bo under
stood that this examination covers
the work ot these two grades), and
this one pupil was below grade In
only ono subject more than enough
to condition her and allow a second
trial on the low subjects.
"Six pupils who failed In the exam
inations last year were re-examlncd.
It was believed last year that circum
stances wero exceptional owing to
two changes of teachers In the eighth
grade after March, and these pupils
were allowed to carry some high
school work thlB year while review
ing with tho eighth grade some of
tho subjects In which thoy had stood
lowest. Aside front spoiling, which
Is certainly n wenk point, there was
ono grado only below passing In n
subject which had been rovlowed
this year. Tho Judgment which pur
milted thoso pupils to eulor high
school this year appears to hnvo been
approved by tho fuels for thoro lino
neon but ono failure recorded ngnlusl
thoso pupils, nnd that in Latin, n no
torlously hard suUJoct for many pu
plls."
