Circles Through the Air and Returns

The boomerang and it's pecularities

idea as to how they may be constructed
They are made Of a strip OF wood about
half an inch thick and two inches wide
and from tip to tip measure about
twelve inches On one end and in the
middle they are rounded. The principle
of the boomerang was understood years

These natives are so skilled In its use
that they can hit their mark almost
every time and the boomerang will return
to their feet.

HER FLOW OF WIT.

Her voice is very sweet to me,
Though others think II raSps a bit.
While pseVish critics frequently
Complain that she has little wit
listen gladly and am stirred
Most deeply by her every word
The drama seldom is her theme,
She wastes no time discussing art;
The classic muse she does not deem
A fitting subject. bless her heartt
From science she dfScreetly turns
And politics she SEeetIy spurns-
Though others think her dun, I sit
And listen with supreme delight.

Is always beautiful and bright
Her constant topic Is, you see
