Super-Tuchun Wu Pei-fu, until recently "War lord of Central China," long a potent bulwark against Communism, found his forces crumbling and his officers deserting by dozens last week as he retreated from Hankow, his one-time stronghold on the Yangtze, to Chengchow in northern Honan Province...
...mariners that frequent the Gulf of Mexico region dread these annual hurricanes. Their source is usually in the Caribbean, where an initial whirling motion is caused by the expansion of moist air over tropical waters. They then generally pursue a northern course gradually increasing in intensity so long as they remain over water. Curiously, due to lower barometric pressure on the southernmost side, the southern semicircle of these hurricanes is comparatively harmless. Mariners refer to the northern half as "the dangerous semi-circle," and the southern half as the "navigable semi-circle." They can usually rely upon "riding...
Prince Chichibu began to explore the Northern Japanese Alps in 1923, and during 1924 scaled the snow-capped and hurricane swept Tateyama, one of the most dangerous and forbidding mountains in southern Japan.

Meanwhile those familiar with modern Nippon recalled that all the princes of the present ruling house are remarkable for their athletic prowess...
TIME stated that cyclones spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the southern, due to twist imparted to enveloping air currents by Earth's axial motion (Ferrel's law). No record is discoverable of the hypothetical case posed by Subscriber Harkness. From the nature of its spin and of prevailing air currents, a cyclone usually travels away from the Equator. Should one chance to be translated across the Line it would theoretically be retarded, dissipated, replaced by a fresh one of reverse spin...
