BESSEMER HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITION Is Attended By a Crowd of
 Visitors SEXTON AND TUCKER Will Be Opposing Pitchers in Thurs days Game-Henry Vanderputte of Cullman in Conference
 With Sterling
SEXTON AND TUCKER

Bessemer May Special )-The educational advantages in the manual domestic and cultural arts and sciences of the Bessemer- public schools were demonstrated in the annual exhibit held at the high school today. Throngs of visitors were agreeably surprised and interested in the many phases of mod ern education taught in the local schools and the arrangement as well as the articles merited the universal ad- miration.
 The manual training work, at the right of the Arlington avenue entrance, represented the rudiments of mechan- ical knowledge taught by Prof. c. A. Kuckiniski.
 One of the new features of the ex- hibit was the musical compositions and scale tests made by pupils of the first grades. Creditable staffs, musical fig ures and original melodies were neatly tied with ribbon and showed remark able degree of one of the necessary elements of a broad education. This de- partment is supervised by Miss Minnie Cahill, a young teacher of decided mu sical ability.
 The walls of the corridors were lined with woodland scenes, colored pictures of animals, cut-out drawings of black and white and hundreds of specimens of the future artists who are now in the making under the general instruction of Miss Margaret McAdory, the success ful young county supervisor of art A table of raffia and paper work ex- amples was not so encoura ging as the well expressed ideas in the drawings by the tiny hands of the youngest pu- pills.
 In the domestic art room a comfortable and pleasant apartment with its many windows for air and light, the needle work on view was beautiful and on sev- eral pieces the price of the materials de- noted the economy of cultivating this art The pretty garments and pillow tops seemed the work of several years train ing instead of one. Miss Bessie l.. Parker of New York is the instructor in the de- partments of home economies, involving sewing and cooking.
 The kitchen in the basement is one of the most attractive spots of the school and was filled with tempting dishes pre- pared by the girls at home for this ex- hibit. The fireless cooker demonstration was interesting because the box. divided into two compartments, with a lid and stained and cushions stuffed with ex- celsior, could be made by the average housewife.
 Public appreciation of the school sys- tenn was easily won today by a sight of the exhibit.

from 81 to 60
Continuing his discussion Mr. Jesunof-
sky gave some figures that will be
especially interesting to those who
were in the storm. concerning the
pressure of the wind. BY remember
ing how close they were to the center
Of its greatest velocity. they can
estimate their own resisting power.
When the wind is blowing at a velo-
city of 80 miles, it's pressure is -
pounds per square foot At Sc miles
the pressure is 1917 pounds per square
foot; at 60 miles it is IS pounds:
and at 65 miles it is 211 pounds per
square foot
Leaving the weather man for a mo-
ment and pursuing a calculation from
the view point of the layman, II may
he assumed that the average man
would present a surface to the wind
equal to eighteen inches wide and five
feet high. or ~ square feet of sur
face. Taking the wind pressure at S.

who weighs exactly 1854 pounds. But
the average Phoenix man has sense
enough to turn sidewise. in humping
either a windstorm or policeman.
But getting back to things scien-
tific. Mr.. JesunOfsky says that he saw
no evidence of a twister. The build

instance had an open skylight of large
size through which the wind got

wind could tip them easily if it came

Of twister but that the wind lifted
the roof, and loOsened the column so
it easily fell with a small gust of

He says it is undoubtedly true that

three or four blocks north OF the

that recorded at the station. which
would make it perhaps 20 miles for
