A Savannah News piece reflects on the old fashion parlor’s decline as modern homes shed the silent, carpeted room. It recalls mohair furniture, what-not cups, a marble-topped center table, family album, and parlor smell, noting how parlor memories endure even as living spaces change.
President Hadley recalls a whimsical lesson about Humphry Davy Jones of Lake Erie who lost a wind gauge during a gale. He devised a method using barnyard ducks and a village cannon to measure wind speed and muzzle velocity, illustrating practical scientific thinking.

A Pearson's Weekly piece details how dogs and other animals aid law enforcement across Europe. It cites Austrian coast patrols using trained hounds to detect smugglers, St Bernard guardians who helped arrest a murderer, a Paris monkey that acted as a policeman, and a Dresden dog that identified burglary suspects. It also notes dogs at Poznan excise posts detecting illicit distilleries and a St. Petersburg zoo incident with poisoned monkeys used to reveal a culprit.
