This verdict may be added to those
cited in the report of the select COM

he swallowed when lying on a gravel

was given as a verdict. I thought
some joke had been played. and !

the novel discovery reported at Frank

ed from the pan of balance. When o
fly was placed on the wall inside the
weight was correspondingly increased
but when the fly left the side of the
cylinder, flying into the interior, the
balance was not affected. There was
no change when either the top lid OF
the bottom one was removed, the fly's
weight being still recorded, although
it WIS flying inside. When both we're
removed. however, the balance was
disturbed, and only the weight of the
cylinder was recorded. With the up.

flying fly neal the top of the cylinder
was weighed exactly as II suspended
