A Test Of strenutn.

Perhaps you do not know how
strong you are in some ways. Here is
a trick which will show you that you
have more strength in your arms than
you may have supposed: Hold your
hands straight in front of you, with
the palms toward you and the middle
fingers of each hand just touching
each other. Then ask some one to pull
your hands apart. You will be sur
prised to find that much bigger,
stronger person than you will probably
not be able to pull your hands away
