      Note: The salmons ascend rivers and penetrate to their head
               streams to spawn. They are remarkably strong fishes,
               and will even leap over considerable falls which lie in
               the way of their progress. The common salmon has been
               known to grow to the weight of seventy-five pounds;
               more generally it is from fifteen to twenty-five
               pounds. Young salmon are called parr, peal, smolt, and
               grilse. Among the true salmons are:
  
      {Black salmon}, or {Lake salmon}, the namaycush.
  
      {Dog salmon}, a salmon of Western North America
            ({Oncorhynchus keta}).
  
      {Humpbacked salmon}, a Pacific-coast salmon ({Oncorhynchus
            gorbuscha}).
  
      {King salmon}, the quinnat.
  
      {Landlocked salmon}, a variety of the common salmon (var.
            {Sebago}), long confined in certain lakes in consequence
            of obstructions that prevented it from returning to the
            sea. This last is called also {dwarf salmon}.
  
      Note: Among fishes of other families which are locally and
               erroneously called salmon are: the pike perch, called
               {jack salmon}; the spotted, or southern, squeteague;
               the cabrilla, called {kelp salmon}; young pollock,
               called {sea salmon}; and the California yellowtail.
  
      2. A reddish yellow or orange color, like the flesh of the

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kingly office of Christ
      one of the three special relations in which Christ stands to his
      people. Christ's office as mediator comprehends three different
      functions, viz., those of a prophet, priest, and king. These are
      not three distinct offices, but three functions of the one
      office of mediator.
     
         Christ is King and sovereign Head over his Church and over all
      things to his Church (Eph. 1:22; 4:15; Col. 1:18; 2:19). He
      executes this mediatorial kingship in his Church, and over his
      Church, and over all things in behalf of his Church. This
      royalty differs from that which essentially belongs to him as
      God, for it is given to him by the Father as the reward of his
      obedience and sufferings (Phil. 2:6-11), and has as its especial
      object the upbuilding and the glory of his redeemed Church. It
      attaches, moreover, not to his divine nature as such, but to his
      person as God-man.
     
         Christ's mediatorial kingdom may be regarded as comprehending,
      (1) his kingdom of power, or his providential government of the
      universe; (2) his kingdom of grace, which is wholly spiritual in
      its subjects and administration; and (3) his kingdom of glory,
      which is the consummation of all his providential and gracious
      administration.
     
         Christ sustained and exercised the function of mediatorial
      King as well as of Prophet and Priest, from the time of the fall
      of man, when he entered on his mediatorial work; yet it may be
      said that he was publicly and formally enthroned when he
      ascended up on high and sat down at the Father's right hand (Ps.
      2:6; Jer. 23:5; Isa. 9:6), after his work of humiliation and
      suffering on earth was "finished."
