familiar with the patent adjustable swing which
is in such general use in the parks and other
public places, schools, residences, etc, through.
out the United States. This swing is arranged
to securely seat four persons, in a carriage box,
facing each other, and is propelled by the
weigh, and position Of the occupants, who can
easily regulate the movement Of the swing to
any degree Of momentum desired so as to
almost approximate perpetual motion. Mr.. +.

has recently introduced the swing to the resi-

this swing can be seen at his shop, and it, also
