Thinks Fish Can Talk. Stephen Decatur Bridges of Veronn, Me., who is known as the "Salmon King" of the Penobscot, is positive not only that tisli have brains, but that lisli reason and form likes and dislikes, dis-likes, and tell their opinions to each other, the New York World states. Bridges explains the disappearance of salmon from the Penobscot in two wnys either "salmon tell other salmon how dirty its waters are nnd how it is not tit for any respectable salmn to live in," or "the tisli resent it because at t lie hatchery in East Orland they are taken from the water wa-ter nnd stripped of their eirgs."
