Making a Coin "Obey''

by a slight movement of the
third finger. He does so and the
coin obediently turns over. What
Is the secret Of the trick?
The magician really does not
move his third finger at all. He
merely brings up his thumb un-
6erneath his hand so that the nail
of the thumb touches the inside
tip of his third finger, and then
gives it a little flick. This causes
the third finger to act as a spring
and makes the coin turn over.
Since the magician holds his
hands below the level of the eyes
Of his audience the fact that he
uses his thumb escapes the notice
Of the spectators.

Can You Accurately Judge Distance?

IF you think that your eyesight Is so keen that you can accurately
IL judge distance, here Is a good chance for you to prove it. Take a
glance at the drawing of these three diagrams and then guess between
which points is the greater distance. Is it farther from B to G than
it is from A to B? Nearly everyone will say that the distance from
Il to G is the greater, but, as a matter of fact, the two distances are
exactly the same. So you see you cannot always believe your eyes,
which can be fooled by an optical illusion.

Discussing weather conditions,
Rosendahl said:
This flight will be Of great
value because we will get

to be found in the flying lanes
of the northern hemisphere.
Future world flights will nn-
d0ubtedly benefit from the
flying conditions we experience
on this trip. Little is known of
the prevailing weather and wind
over Northern Asia and over the
Pacific. The conditions we find
viii be of significance because

vessel is correctly bonded, the
