Livingston in a malpractice suit against Port--land General hospital and Dr. .Donald Nickelsen. The hospital had appealed I from the court of Multnomah county Circuit Judge James IW. Crawford.

No He Doesn't Fish Don't Drink In the entire world of liv ing creatures, man is the only one who drinks liquids other than milk or waier. Of the nine hundred thousand kinds of beings he is unique in this respect. Of course, whatever he drinks contains mostly water, but he is after the flavor, the reaction, or the excuse. His body chemistry, like that of the ant, the eiephant, the rep tile, or the bird, is dependent on water. Ofttimes, to describe anoth er's drinking habits, we some times say, "He drinks like a fish," Probably the steady opening and closing of a fish's mouth gave someone the idea the fish was gulping water constantly. Actually, the fish is only breathing. The wide open mouth pulls in the water. passes it across the giiis. which absorb the oxygen, and force it out through the gill covers. The fish must have oxygen, the same as humans, but they secure it in a differ ent manner. Basically, a fish doesn't drink. Immersed con stantly in this medium he ab- CLOB SALE PLANNED Reno - iiJPli - Spokesmen confirmed today that negoti ations were under way to sell Harold's Club, one of the old est and largest casinos in Ne vada, to a group of Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas gam blers..

Wafittns sorbs a small amount through 1 sne ssin by sort of an osmosis process. Secondly, a fish nev er sweats, no matter how fast he swims, or how much he exerts himself. His environ ment changes slowly. inere is never too sudden a temperature change. Being! cold Wooded, with a body: temperature slightly higher than his surroundings, he re acts quickly to water changes, seeking deeper and cooler wa ter when the air temperature is high, or shallow water when conditions are more suitable there. In the third, ana probably the most important aspect of his life, the fish receives what water he actually needs from She food he eats, either ant ma! or plant. Nature equipped the fish, as weii as other crea tures that live or feed in the water, with a clever little trap door in the back of the mouth. This small fleshy gate al lows the fish to open its mouth wide, but prevents wa ter from running down the throat. This gate works auto matically, and guards him ail his life. In fact it keeps him from drowning. He doesn't have to think about "closing the date," he grabs a mouth ful of food, closes his mouth, forcing the water out of the gill openings, swallows the food without gulping even a teaspoonfu! of water. So the adage about the man "drinking like a fish" is meaningless. Fish are moder ate "drinkers." Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1960S Aanel ( makes holiday hosting easier!)
