Speaker Brown takes occasion to
deny emphaticary the suggestions
that the Democratic majority in the
house is not working together. He
says that the real thing in the har-
mony line prevails among his Demo-
cratic brethren. At that, though, as
with everything else, there are gener-
ally differing opinions as to what con-
stitutes harmony. For instance, the
man who finds harmony in the solemn
and majestic crash of some of the
famous music written by Wagner
sticks his fingers in his ears when the
band hits off little ragtime. On the
other hand. the chap whose musical
yearnings are satisfied with the deli
cate if sometimes weird harmony in
the best of the ragtime stuff is sure to
be bored by Wagnerian ponderosity.

Why a Door Slams.

All have wondered at some time or
other Why door opened nearly ia
the limit. will close when there is a
draft or wind going through the open
ms Certainly the wind does not get
IN behind the door and shove it; fol
the draft is through the opening.
The expanati ton of this fact lies in
a fundamental principle OF moving
fluids. and is the same principle that
makes baseball curve. Whenever
there is a current in the air the side
wise pressure is least in that current;
SO when the draft blows through the
opening to the door the pressure on
that side of the door is decreased, and
consequently the pressure on the other
side will start slowly to move the door
making it so faster and faster, till
the door swings into the draft itsell
and starts soing in the direction OF
the draft. When it does SO go in this
direction. OF course the draft helps it
along. because it, is now not the side
wise motion that counts, but the for.
ward motion.
When a ball is rotated in the air il
carries around withit good deal OF
air sticking to the sides. This, then
is the same thing as saying that 8
current of air is flowing round the
