Jumping is extremely popular also at the Holland Kelly Farm in Greenfield where the tow is operated by Strand Mikkelson, a former national champion jumper, whose somersaults delight the jumper, whose somersaults delight the onlookers. Both have performed in major sports centers, as have the native troop of professional skiers, Mikkelson, Shul and Pulaski. These men are now teaching two Greenfield girls who, as high school students, were jumping more than 150 feet...
...question leaped into his mind: "What is the horsepower, what is the amount of force involved?" To find out, he devised a new experiment. To perform it, he takes a little piece of the mold, works it into a sort of dumbbell shape-two blobs connected by a thin strand. He puts this into an air chamber divided into two compartments by a block of agar (marked C in the diagram). The two blobs, a and b, are in separate chambers but are connected by the strand which runs through a small hole in the agar. Protoplasmic streaming from...
...pressure in B is kept constant; in A, it can be raised or lowered at will. When the pressure is the same in both compartments, rhythmic streaming occurs normally through the strand. But by raising the air pressure in A, Kamiya can slow down and stop the flow of material from b to a. When the flow has stopped, he has balanced air pressure against the protoplasmic force. Thus, by noting the amount of the increased pressure, he measures the protoplasmic force...
Radio's Aylesworth held his job for ten years, saw NBC evolve from a thin strand across the continent, linking a few stations, into a powerful network with two transcontinental chains and a host of international ramifications...
...days in a room on the second floor of the Louvre Museum in Paris a young Russian artist named Serge Bogousslavsky sketched industriously while guards wandered about the halls. Each day, unnoticed, he frayed and broke one strand of the wire upholding a tiny masterpiece-valued from $80,000 up-by Antoine Watteau: L' Indifférent. On the 18th day after lunch a guard walked into the room and stared (TIME, June 26). L'Indifférent and Russian were both gone...
