Supposing that man is possessed 'of the muscular energy capable of adopting the latter proportion, then a man weighing 168 pounds would require wings 14 feet long by three feet wide, or twice the area of an ordinary door, without allowing for the weight of the wings. The simple flapping of these wings up and down, without any attempt at flight, would thoroughly exhaust an ordinary man in a very few moments. As a matter of fact, experiments with aeroplanes, along with many birds, prove man is much too heavy in proportion to his muscular energy ever to hope to fly unaided by cither a buoyant vessel or by added power. New telephone law , - The new law in regard to the maintenance of secrecy by telephone employees as to messages passing over the wires goes into effect on the first of next month.

The same penalty attaches to neglect or refusal to transmit or deliver messages, except when they are intended for illegal purposes. Mining and Scientific Press A serious evil in mining One of the most serious evils to mining is the practice of presenting mines to the public at enormous prices. Often an examining engineer is compelled to condemn a mine because of the price at which it is presented. Many good prospects remain undeveloped for the same reason. It is the favorite field of the mining shark, and it is here his fangs sink deepest. Every extensive mining camp is infested with these men; nor are they confined to mining districts alone, but may be found in all sections, especially in all large business and speculative centers. Let owners of mining property place legitimate and reasonable prices on their possessions and allow a liberal commission to the promoter on the purchase price, and this evil will be speedily remedied. Western Mining World 50 Years Ago Glorious news flashed Tuesday at 5 p.m. "Japan surrenders unconditionally" After an apprehensive wait of 17 hours the long-awaited "flash" came to Park City of the unconditional surrender of Japan. Immediately the fire siren atop the City Hall shrieked to the populace of the glad tidings. A parade was formed headed by children with flaming broomsticks, carrying the effigy of "his majesty" Hirohito. After marching, a halt was called in front of the Memorial Building, where the torch was put to the Nipponese emperor-god. The celebration was 90 60 30 Days Days Days Come in and see our selection of NEC, MOTOROLA, and AT&T phones halted at this point by a heavy downpour of rain and hail. Later in the evening a public dance was held at the Miners' Union hall. Wednesday evening at 6 p.m., a citizens' parade was formed at the foot of Main Street, which proceeded to the Memorial Building where a patriotic program was given, followed by a free dance. The line of march included the color guard, high school band. Local No. 99, city council. County Commissioner Ed J. McPolin, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Auxiliary No. 43 Maccabees, Elks, the always-happy always-happy kiddies, the fire truck and private cars. As was general through the state, the mines and business houses were closed Wednesday and today. The mines will resume their regular schedule Friday morning. May the peace be sincere and everlasting! Dad's Column Regarding airplanes... Tomorrow's planes will range in size from tiny cub models for pilot and one passenger to mammoth globe-girding luxury airliners. Many details of new technical developments are closely guarded secrets. But we know important contributions to peacetime flying will result from the new superfuels, jet propulsion, and stratosphere superchargers. Electronic devices will detect major mechanical hazards. When other planes are near, radar accurately will indicate their distance, direction, course and speed. Mountains and other barriers will be located while still at a safe distance. Robot pilots will perform new miracles. Blind flying and landing at ceiling zero will be as safe as through visibility were unlimited. Two-way plane-to-ground voice radio will have greater range and clarity under all weather conditions, and passengers will converse freely with persons on the ground. Stewards will prepare meals on electronic cooking units efficient at any altitude. free incoming calls free voice mail free instate long distance After the war we shall have to consider how this country is going to get its living. One of the major causes of the depression after the last war was the attempt to make profits out of scarcity instead of utilizing abundance. We had the tragic and ridiculous spectacle of widespread destitution and poverty with millions of people idle. We had poverty in the midst of plenty. The British Government is working out plans to avoid this happening again. It seeks stability in world prices, steady and adequate rewards for primary producers, organization to enable the world's adequate resources to provide enough food for all the people, and. finally, utilization of the services of all workers in peace as in wartime. 25 Years Ago Road work on Parley's The opening of Parley's Canyon, originally scheduled for July 1. had to be delayed because of unseasonable rain and snow showers causing impossible working conditions for the contractors. Although the canyon is again open to traffic some work on the eastbound lanes must still be done on such things as the median barrier, guardrail, and drainage systems. The contractors' crews working on these items have assured the public that they will keep any inconvenience to the traveler at a minimum, however, motorists are cautioned to watch for the contractors' equipment and crews working adjacent to and crossing the newly opened lanes. The governor, in announcing the reopening of the canyon, said that he was sure that it has been an inconvenience for many people to have to use the Emigration Canyon detour during the canyon closure. However, the governor pointed out that is much safer than attempting to move traffic through the very narrow construction zones in the mouth of Parley's Canyon.

McNeil is looking back at the longest and best-attended season he has had since starting the series in 1983. "The problems have been minimal," he said, and they will be minimal." Weather problems that plagued the scries in past years have been infrequent this summer. And, in any event, McNeil has installed a stage with a roof in case of rain. He said he has a five-year Park West lease, starting this year, to continue the series. At press time, the acts left in the series were of Sting on Aug. 26, Kenny Loggins on Aug. 28 and Ratt on Sept. 2.

A United Concerts press release noted, "the show has grown from four to seven semi-trailer trucks and is one of the largest to ever tour." When McNeil was asked to make estimates of audience attendance, he said the lowest turnout was about 2,000 people for Emmylou Harris. About 3,500 gathered to hear former Eagle Don Henley. County Sheriff Fred Eley estimated Santana drew an attendance of 3,000. But McNeil said other concerts Howard Jones, Tears for Fears, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Night Ranger drew audiences of from 8,000 to 10,000 people. He said 10,000 is about as many as Park West can handle, due to the capacity of nearby parking areas and of Utah Highway 224. According to the county concert ordinance, United Concerts must provide insurance for the events. National news stories now discuss the difficulty of obtaining liability insurance, but McNeil said he has not had a problem holding onto a policy because "I haven't made any claims and I've paid a lot of money."
