LIMIT OF HUMAN STRENGTHS.

Experiments upon number of
men have shown that a man five
feet high and weighing 1875 pounds
will lift on an average 156 pounds
through vertical distance of eight
inches, or 217 pounds through a
height of LIZ inches. Others 6.1 feet
high and weighing 1873 pounds could
lift the 1856 pounds to height of
13 inches, or 217 pounds to a
height of six inches. Other men
six feet three inches high and weigh
ing 1873 pounds could lift 1856
pounds to height of 16 inches, or
217 pounds to height of nine
inches. By great variety of ex-
periments it was shown that the
average human strength is equiva-
lent to raising 80 pounds through
distance of two and onehalf feet in
one second.
