There is a series of repeated tiny spasms throughout the nerves ol the body causing an attendant reaction in the muscles which results in what we call trembling.

'Eques Lanceolatus' Is Taken For First Time Off N.C. Coast Eques Lanceolatus, is the sci entific name: Serrana or ribbon fish is the common name, and it was caught in a trawl net off Cape Lookout last week, purchased by Tony Seaman with other fish in Morehead City and turned over to the U. S. Fisheries Station on Pi ver's Island where Director H. F. Prytherch will have a cast made of it for permanent display in the marine museum. The fish is not like the common ribbon varieties of our local wa ters. Instead it looks more like a fowl of some kind, with its dorsal fin extending from back of head like a rooster's comb. This queer looking fish made news because it is strictly a West Indian variety and had never before been record ed north of Pensacola, Florida. It brings the total number of spe cies recorded from nearby waters above the 300 mark. , MARCH TERM JURORSJ)RAWN Judge Williams Will Preside Over Session A one week term of supe rior court for the trial of criminal actions will begin in Beaufort on Monday, March 13.

Last week when they scraped the propeller blade in the salt water pump at Piver's Island, an oyster estimated by Bivalve Ex pert Dr. H. F. Prytherch to be six months old, was discovered. The reason the oyster must have been dtzxy is ' because the propeller blade when in action, which is fre quent, makes 1,750 revolutions per minute. I n a period of six months that ovster was whirled around no telling how many mil lions of time. How the bivalve survived its dizzy travels had even Dr. Prytherch who knows more about oysters than any other man in America, considerably baffled BEAUFORT TEAM WINS BANQUET CuD-Match Will Be Held At Beach Tonight Beaufort Bowlers were victorious last Thursday nite and as a result the Morehead City Javcees will entertain the local team on Tuesday, Feb. 28, at Fort Macon Hotel banquet followed by a dance at the Boat Club.

Fred Gillikin, officer in charge of Fort Macon Coast Guard Station, and hit motor lifeboat crew on last Friday, Capt Ira Willis, Morehead City Port Terminal pilot would have had to made a cruise to Phil adelphia aboard the S. S. Baron Dunmore of Glasgow, Scotland. And if you happen to recall, it would have been mighty rough trip around Cape Hatteras, because more than "half a gale" was blow ing from the Southwest. , giye empIoyment to 1,218 persons. It wa the rough weather that,,, .... .... r .! tonal made it impossible for the pilot boat to go to sea. But it was clearing time for the S. S. Baron Dunmore, which had taken on nearly 3,000 tons of scrop metal at the Morehead City terminal and was due to continue on to Phila delphia and complete her cargo. It was absolutely necessary that a pilot take the ship out to the high seas, and Capt. Willis had to go with her, but he did not know whether he could return to port immediately or make the long and unnecessary trip to Philadelphia. Capt. Willis called Capt. Fred Gillikin, told the officer in charge of Fort Macon Coast Guard sta tion that if it wa possible for he and his life boat crew to go out beyond the inlet on the high seas and bring him back to hit dutiet in Morehead City, that he would be grateful for the favor. Capt Fred Gillikin, who has been going out on rough teat for many yeart ret cuing life and property did not hetitate a minute but said he would go. He and hit life boat crew made the rough trip to get Capt. Willit off the ship after she had reached the high seat and brought him back to port. It was just another duty that the Coast Guard, which includes in itt per tonnel men who are ever ready to save life and property on the tigh teat, performed.

THE FIRST TO BREAK the proposed news in the press will be this column.
