When danger was such as required a long fast "hop," or straight run at maximum speed, the fish flew near the surface with its body bent downward in a curve from its midsection so that the tail touched the water occasionally, giving it accelerating bursts of speed. The wings move so as to make splash-points with the down-curved tips, at intervals resembling a column of colons exactly as described by Geologist Troxell. This flight ended in a glide with tail touching in a swimming motion several yards before the fish plopped down and submerged. In landing from...
...aspects of Jim Fisk's life have drawn the camera's focus alternately, his financial career and his career with Josie Mansfield. Getting off to a fast start with some able stooging by Grant and Oakie, Arnold appears on his way to another of his masterful, belly-laughing characterizations, this time of the late Jay Gould's spectacular compeer. But enter love. Miss Farmer's rather self-conscious poignancy upsets the emotional possibilities inherent in Fisk's Wall Street development. Then set for a satisfyingly tragic romance amid the triangle of Arnold in love with Farmer in love with Grant...
Prime requisite of a fireman is the ability to think fast in an emergency. Last week, the firemen of Boise, Idaho did so. Roused a few minutes after 3 a.m. by a newsboy who had noticed a pile of straw burning in a corral, firemen raced to the scene, found flames licking at a barn belonging to the Myron Jacobs Riding Academy, where swank Boiseans stable their horses.

...fast field of horses led by Red Aril was pounding around the Narragansett Track at Pawtucket, R. I. in the last race one day last week, the track's managing director, dapper Walter E. O'Hara, sat nervously champing a cigar in his luxurious penthouse atop the clubhouse. By Mr. O'Hara's side sat his two lawyers and outside the door stood some 20 of Pawtucket's police, stout liegemen of Walter O'Hara's friend and political ally, Pawtucket's Democratic Mayor Thomas P. McCoy. Beyond them stood a delegation...
...Bermuda Clippers. The 20-mile journey from Grand Central takes just under an hour. The great runways at Mitchell Field and the smaller ones at Miller Field, Staten Island are used by the Army; Roosevelt Field is largely taxi service and training schools. Bendix, in New Jersey, developing fast from the days when it was famed under the name Teterboro, hopes for airline patronage, so far has none. The two seaplane "Skyports" in the East River, at 31st Street and the foot of Wall Street, are important private landings which serve such potent business figures as Henry Morgan, Harry...
