when he started the motor he had
the air of one who drives q Rolls
Royce down a smooth boulevard,
while in reality his two guests had
difficulty in even remaining In the
seat, so bumpy was the road.
Into the gathering twilight their
new-found friend drove the cumber-
some machine confidently over the
rough corduroy road, which led be-
tween heavily grown rows of giant
dark trees castinr their shadows
ominously across the path. The heavy
stagnant odor of the swamp became
increasingly strong, and evidences
grew every minute that civilization
was rapidly being left behind them.
When darkness fell, Gene got out
and lighted the old-fashioned lamps
on the machine. AS he climbed in he
turned to his companions.
"Y'all amt 'fraid none, is your" he
asked.
From almost above their heads an
owl screeched eerily, and from some
where in the swamp came the insane
laughter of a cat-bird.
"Naw," Hotshot exclaimed without
conviction. 1--WE amt 'fraid-but
we'se jes' lettle bit nervous!"

When Skyscrapers
Vibrate Like the
Tuning Forks
Continued from Page Two

building on the forward beat it may
almost double the length of the next
stroke, and it is probably at such
moments, accompanied as they are
by the sudden shrek Of the blast,
that the occupants feel the motion.
Whether anyone has ever been able
actually to feel the sway of a sky
scraper is a speculative question and
one hard to settle in a positive man
ner.
Checking on the Amount of Sway
AS to the amount of motion that
occurs, it is hard to say accurately
according to the construction engi-
neers. However, readings have been
taken in most of the tall buildings
in New York during sales, and
the indications were that they sway
ed as much as an inch at least, max
ing two inches from vertical count
ing the swing back and forth.
The frequency of the motions de-
ponds on many separate consldera-
lions. A slender tower will move
more slowly than a stout one, a high
tower moves more slowly than a short
one, O heavily braced tower is faster
than one of the same size and shape
which is not so well braced.
A tower which has heavy floors
or walls at the top is slower than
one of light construction; one with
heavy walls in the lower stories, es-
pecially of stone masonry, is faster
than tower of light brick or
terra Gotta construction. This all
comes down to the fact, that the stiff
fer it is for its size and weight, the
faster it vibrateS.
The rates vary from fifteen COM
plete vibrations per minute for the
very tall, slender towers and for the
medium sized towers and of cheaper
construction, to thirty per minute.
The frequency of vibration Is OF
considerable interest because Of its
relation to the sort Of happenings
which cause gossip. 1t is a well rec
ognized fact that if any object has a
harmonic motion of its own, like a
pendulum, and if it is given series
of slight pushes, timed to its own fire.
Quency, it will get to swinging vio-
lently. Hence the trouble. Nearly
all the wild tales of skyscraper move
ments seem to deal not with sensa-
tions of motion but With the queer
behavior of objects. In so far as they
have any truth in them it is prob
ably connected with this characters
tic of swinging bodies to respond to
anything that tunes in on their own
wave length.
Rocking Chairs ami Bathtubs
Rocking chairs have q definite pc
Rod, according to the person in them,
and bathtubs have period about the
same as that of our tall buildings.

MiddletoWn, June tP1Coroner L. A. Smith today postponed until next week his inquest into the death of Hilmer Kvistrom of New Britain, at Durham last Sunday when seven motorcycles piled up on a small car at a street intersection.
