la Muscle Movement,
Insects are Hot Rods -,
The rat-a-tat . of . a wood
pecker's bill approximates
about 600 per minute, equiva
lent to that of the air hammer.
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.
