...claim even to an answer on that. Each Hooper point does not necessarily equal a million listeners (e.g., 31,100,000 for Hope). Hooper says that that rule-of-thumb may be true, but as far as he is concerned, it is just a huckster's sales pitch...
With the wheel spinning at 18,000 r.p.m., the sound has a pitch of 24,000 cycles-too high for the normal human ear. But if two sheets of paper are placed in the beam, the nearer is cooled by the air blast, while the second bursts into flame. Once Mr. White held his hand in the path of the silent sound waves. He felt a "scintillating" sensation, as if his skin were covered with rapidly alternating hot and cold spots. The hand was not damaged.

To show what they can do, White adjusts the wheel's speed so that it will generate 800-cycle sound waves -just below the top of a soprano's range...
Saul Mariaschin's boot of a double-play grounder in the third, along with two Dartmouth hits and a wild pitch by Jack Wallace, brought the visitors within a run of the Varsity in the third. In the sixth, Coppinger singled, stole second, and rode home on Wallace's double to give the home team a two-run lead.

Elight runs in the last of the third aided Gold Coast hurler Charlie Holt to Victory. Wednesday, Leverett was more fortunate in edging Dunster, 4 to 1, behind the one-hit pitching of lean and hungry Norm Cameron, Dudley defaulted to Adams in an earlier game yesterday afternoon...
