THE FIRST FLY SWATTER
WAS Up TO HIS BUSINESS

The original swat the fly man
has been discovered. He was Domi-
tian, Roman Emperor from 81 TO
90 A. d. History records little good
OF Domit!an. but it does say that he
anticipated the anti-fy movement by
more than 500 years. Maltreating
the buzzing pests was his favorite
amusement. it is recorded. but he
was not animated by desire TO save
ba Dies lives or avert epidemics.
One biographer says OF the old
Roman that 'one OF his favorite
pastimes was hunting and killing
flies" and Suetonius. the famous
historian, wrote thus OF Domitian:
In the beginning Of his reign he
used to spend daily an hour by him
self in private. during which time he
did nothing else but catch flies and
stick them through the body with a
sharp pin"
