The average boy -has a lifting power of '2Bolb. By his twentieth year, if his development is normal, his power should be increased so that he could easily exert a lifting power of 320, while his maximum power is generally reached in his thirtieth year, and is i 8651b. After that it begins to decline, ! falling off 81b by the time he is 40. I From 40 to 50, the decrease is more rapid, the average lifting power at 50 being 830. only a little greater than at 20. After 50 the decrease is so rapid and so varied 'that any accurate aver- ■ age is nearly impossible. The United States Attorney-General has given, his opinion that marriage by wireless is not legal. A San Francisco clergyman was to have broadcasted the marriage ritual to the contracting paxties in New York City, whose responses in turn were to have been broadcasted back so that the entire continent might 1 "listen-in" on the ceremony. "I am of the opinion," ruled Charles O. Newton, the Attorney-Genera], "that any attenmt by a. clergyman or magistrate to perform a marriage ceremony without being actually present with the contracting parties, witness ot witnesses, would not comply with the mandate of I the statutes of New York State."
