Thinks Fish Can Talk.

Stephen Decatur Bridges of Verona, Me., who Is known as the “Salmon King” of the Penobscot, Is positive not only that fish have brains, but that fish reason and form likes and dislikes, and tell their opinions to each other, the New York World states. Bridges explains the disappearance of salmon from the Penobscot In two ways either tell other salmons how dirty Its waters are and how It is not fit for any respectable salmon to live in,” or “the fish resent it because at the hatchway in East Orland they are taken from the water and stripped of their effs.”
