The air hammer doesn't tire but the woodpecker does. The wing muscles of birds just about equal human muscles in speed. A pelican beats its wings about four times per second. Some birds such as the quail and the swallow, reach something like 10 or 12 beats a second. The fastest of all is the hummingbird, attaining about 80 or 90 heats per second, and making the air hammer look like a piker. In comparison with human muscle action, this would make ours seem sluggish. me real "hot rods" are found among the insects. Can Count Them It has only been recently, with the aid of sound frequen cy meters, that the counting of wing beats in insects has been possible. The findings are truly startling. The mus cles, of insects are a great deal like our own, both in action and construction. Muscles must contract and relax in or der to move a wing or a leg, yet; in' the insects they move so fast that their actual quick ness can make our head whirl In the.group, the' butterfly is the slowpoke. He humps along, making about 12 beats to the second. The dragon fly doubles this speed, averaging 20 flaps per second. These two are the plodders among the winged insects. Up higher in the speed scale is the little ladybug beetle. She turns up 75 beats a second and makes a little hum. Figured in beats per minute this speed is noth ing to be ashamed of, for 4,500 beats every second is plenty quick. The bumblebee zooms along at 130 flaps per second. Al though he is no speed demon in forward progress, he turns up a right smart number of wing beats. His relative, the honey , bee has muscles that drive her at the rate of 200 beats or 12,000 flaps a minute. When angry, the bee increases the tempo and the vibrating wings give forth an. angry hum. At such times the wings cease to be a beat. They are a blur. ' The mosquito is the real champion of the entire field. This character can accelerate the wing beat to 300 times a second, which figures 18,000 a minute. This makes a buzz considered to be D above mid dle C in the nearest musical scale.' - ' V; The common house fly is no piker either when it comes to muscle action; it can match the mosquito. In some in stances, when showing off in fro? of a fly of the-opposite sex, the fly can exceed 300 beats '- that's 20,000 beats, a minute: No wonder flies buzz! With, that speed it's a wonder they don't fly apart.

Judgment Entered In Klamath Court May Be Largest A $140,943.63 judgment -believed the largest of. its kind ever rendered in Oregon - was entered in Klamath coun ty circuit court Thursday. The judgment was rendered in favor of W. D. Miller Lum ber corporation against Wil- lard D. Miller, executor of the last will of his father, W. D. Miller, who died July 6, 1956. Clif D. Ouellette, Medford, and J. Anthony Giacomini, Klamath Falls, were attorneys for the lumber corporation. : The -case, tried in late July before Judge Charles H. Fos ter, involved a "mutual, open and current book account", for money allegedly owed the cor poration by W. D. Miller, its former president, at the time of. his death. Both parties waived a jury trial. The judgment, according to Ouellette, is believed to be the second largest judgment of any kind ever rendered in Klamath county and the larg est judgment on a mutual, open and current book ac count ever rendered in the state. The case was in litiga tion about two years. W. D. Miller Lumber, an Oregon corporation, operated in Siskiyou county, California. Basically, a ' mutual, open and current book account" is an arrangement whereby an individual and a corporation can borrow money freely from each other to meet their re spective needs with a record being kept of the transactions Policy Adopted on Plowing Highways Yreka -The Siskiyou coun ty board of supervisors; has adopted a policy of snow re moval in the county. County roads and highway at lower elevations or the. val ley floor will be plowed and restored to normal traffic be fore an. attempt will be made to clear the Everitt Memorial highway or any such road used primarily for recreation purposes, the supervisors said. When essential normal traf fic is restored, road equipment ar.d personnel will start re moving snow, from the high way which leads to the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl. Have a happy vacation!
