THE WE ARE BUILDING OUR BUSINESS ON SERVICE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON: — —----- Slippery Customers. Almost every variety of fish is slip- pery and hard to hold when first caught. This is due to a sort of mu cus exuded through the scales, and Is of the greatest importance to all slimy creatures. One of the impor tant functions of the fish's slimy coat ing Is to protect it from the attacks of fungus, a form of plant life found In all waters. If the fish Is so injured that some spot becomes uncovered by slime, a barely visible fungus will be likely to lodge there, and when It is once lodged the process of repro duction is very rapid. It soon ex tends over the gills and kills the fish. The primary purpose of the slime of the fish Is to reduce Its friction when tn motion through the water, and thereby increase its rate of speed. It also serves as a cushion to the scales, which it thus protects from many injuries. HAPPY SOLUTION By FREDERICK CLARK.
