told the boys to 60 over and measure
the height of the flagstaff on Georges S
Hill, in Fairmont park, and they looked
at me in astonishment, asking at the
same time how they could do it--for
both they and l knew they could not
climb to the top. So Iexplained to them
how they might do it, without going to
the top-and they made the instrument
themselves with which to do it.
They got square rail, about four feet
long then, at one end, they nailed to it,
at right angles, straight stick three fee,
high; exactly one fec. distant, they
nailed another straight stick four fee,
high, then another, one foot dis ant, five
feet high.
The instrument was complete, and
they all started over to the flag pole with
it. When they got as near to the pole
as they thought the pole was high, they
plumbed it, by holding a string, with a
stone tied to it. at the top of one Of the
sticks; the stick was made to stand JUS;
as straight up and down as the string.
Then they sighted, or looked along
the tops of the upright sticks, at the flag
pole. BY moving the instrument just to
the right place, they made the sticks
range with the top Of the pole; that
is, while looking over the top the three
sticks, their eyes, seeing the end of the
sticks all the while, saw also the very
top Of the flag pole
BY measuring them, from that spot to
the dag pole, along the ground, they
were able to tell me that the flag staff
was one hundred and tselve feet distant
from them, and so the flag staff was one
hundred aud twelve feet high,
Now, this was simple application Of
geometry, lesson that looks lawful >"
hard to boys at scIool. but was only fun
learned in this way.
