Salmon's Sense of Smell
Has Effect on Migrations
Ottawa (U.R) People
"smell" as far as Pacific coast
salmon are concerned.
The Canadian fisheries re
search board said that human
skin odors have an adverse ef
fect on migrating salmon. If
there's a human being within
smelling distance of the salmon,
the fish won't swim upstream to
spawn.
Scientists attached to the re
search board proved the aversion
of salmon to human beings dur
ing experiments at Tamp River,
Vancouver Island, B. C.
The department built a con
crete fish ladder on the Stamp
River to count and observe adult
salmon during the period when
they go upstream to spawn.
Too Much For Salmon
Scientists first noted that the
salmon disliked human odor
when .a man waded barefoot into
the . river about 20 feet up
stream from the ladder to re
trieve a tagged coho salmon.
"It was noticed at the count-
Over $800 Given
For Auditorium
More than 800 has been re
ceived to support the campaign
for a Medford civic auditorium,
according to A. A. Lausmann,
temporary chairman of the Civic
Auditorium association.
The group wants to collect
$5,000 for its project. Letters
have been sent to many busi
nesses and individuals seeking
both donations and suggestions.
'This is a very worthwhile
project and I will be glad to help
if needed," declared the second
contributor to the campaign.
We need immediate action,"
said another early donor.
Give Suggestions
Contributors'- suggestions for
facilities in the auditorium in
clude a stage with adequate
backstage facilities, a floor large
enough for basketball games,
bowling alleys, and rifle and pis
tol ranges.
Informing Lausmann that she
would be "proud to help," a reg
istered nurse wrote that .the
auditorium is "a must if Med
ford is to continue as a progres
sive, cooperative city. We must
show pride in an adequate build
ing program."
Checks may be made payable

Newspaper Stands on
Pool Table Legs
Challis, Ida. U.R) The Chal-
lis Messenger boasts that it is the
only newspaper in the world that
stands on pool table legs.
The Idaho weekly newspaper.
published by Halsey Gridley
has been on those same pool ta
ble legs since he bought the
paper in 1929.
The building the paper is now
occupying was built in 1878 as a
saloon. Beneath it was a beer
cellar.
When Gridley bought the pa
per, he moved it to the one-time
saloon. He found that the floor
had caved in and would not with
stand the weight of the press.
He propped the floor and start
ed looking around for something
that would hold the floor and
the press. He decided on a pool
table.
When Idaho was a young state,
the miners would come into
town at night for their recrea
tion. Pool was a favorite.
The miners, after shoving tons
of rock and dirt around all day,
were not inclined to be gentle
with the tables. The tables had
to be built to last for years.
Gridley cut off the legs of one
table and sunk the five-inch
square legs into the ground un
der the floor as a special bracing,
the floor as a special bracing.
He then took another pool ta
ble and set the nine-ton press
on it with the legs extending
through the floor and into the
ground.
Socio Security Office
Remodeling Completed
The field office of the Social
Security administration, 33
North Riverside avenue, has
been remodeled to make "one
of the nicest government offi
ces in the country," according
to Field Representative Olin K.
Kimbrel.
The office has been partition
ed to take it out of the large
office space that had formerly
been an auto showroom.
ing point, three steps below the
top of the ladder, that there
was an immediate and notice
able drop in the upstream mi
gration," the board said.
"The location of the disturb
ance was out of sight of the fish,
and it was unlikely, with the
noise of falling water in each
step of the ladder that the sound
of the disturbance could be
heard.
"Therefore it seemed probable
that an odor from human skin
had repelled the fish. Further
tests bore this out. An observer
placed his hand in the flow of
water passing over the sill into
the step immediately above that
in which counts were being
made.
Proved Further
"A minimum amount of dis
turbance and movement accom
panied this act," the board said.
"After on minute of immersion
the hand was removed. A quite
sudden and striking reduction in
the rate of upstream migration
occurred. From a mean -ate of
34 coho each 10 minutes the
number dropped to four one
hour later a repetition of the
test resulted in a similar de
crease in the migratory rate."
As a result of the experiments,
spectators watching the migra
tion of salmon have been asked
not to interfere with the fish or
create a disturbance in the wa
ter with their hands.
Scientists made other tests to
see whether any other odors,
such as those from various or
ganic substances, disturbed the
fish. The fish paid no attention
to these odors but were immedi
ately repelled when a human
hand was placed in the water.
