suspend a stick about 8 feet long from
the ceiling and on one end fasten an
apple and to the other end small
cheesecloth bag of -four. Twill the
stick around and each one then tries in
turn to bite the apple This will create
much amusement.
Dear Miss Brooks:
I have two questions would like to
ask: % Would a person spend more
time in doing a certain thing, than they
would If they were just dreaming of
doing 1t? (2) Could any one hold their
breath as long, If they were using their
energy (such as swimming under
water) as they could If they were not
using their energy? Thanking you in
advance remain
INQUISITIvE, Utah's Dixie.
1) In most instances, yes. Persons
have been known to dream in one
feeting moment a series of events
which might cover hours, days, weeks
or even longer periods of time If they
really happened. (2) No, they could
not. Physical exertion increases the
which is governed by the
+ cart, and as the number Of respira-
lions is in fairly definite proportion
to the number of heart beats you can
readily see that If one ~ exerting |
or using their energy their |
aspirations would necessarily be more |
'ften than If they were perfectly quiet
,r passive.
