Ten foot shark caught by a woman on Alaska voyage
On an Alaska trip the Queen steamer at Killisnoo Banks became the scene of a dramatic catch when a young San Francisco woman, possibly Miss F. A Sprague, reeled in a ten foot four hundred ten pound shark while halibut fishing. A lasso secured the shark, it was hauled aboard and shot dead, with the captain preserving the teeth. The tale includes sensational remarks from E P Glaze of St Louis about skunks and hydrophobia as reported by the Washington Post.

Fish Hatched by a Hen and a Political Legacy
A Chinese method uses a hen to hatch spawn placed in a sealed egg. The hatchlings are nurtured in warmth and released into water. The article also recalls William Pitt’s legacy from the Duchess of Marlborough of ten thousand pounds, and Sir William Pyncent’s later gift of three thousand pounds a year to Pitt, who never met his benefactor.
