GETTING DANGEROUS.
THE SEA LION AT ST. CLAIR. (Per Press Association). DUNEDIN, March 12. The sea lion at St. Clair, which has been- regarded' as a pet for some months, has. developed habits which have made him not so popular as lie used to be. In fact, he is now regarded as dangerous, for within the las few weeks he has bitten some seven or eight persons. Fortunately most ot the bites have not been serious, but one woman is suffering severely from shock as a result of her encounter with him. The sea lion has not been so docile as previously, perhaps because he has been teased and in some instances illtreated. Within the last few days he has visited a number of shops, and women and children have been afiaic to enter them because of the danger of his attacking them. It is suggested for this reason that some action should he taken to remove him.
