Umbrella Gadgets Lift Man as Wind Carries Him
In Storkville Center Vermont, Christopher Wickfin rigged ropes and belts to keep his cotton umbrella from inverting in strong winds.

He later sought improvements to release the ropes automatically, but abandoned the plan after testing.

Ancient Chinese comic opera staged in Sydney spectacle
A Chinese company presents a 3000 year old comic opera in Sydney praised by a local paper as unique, possibly rivaled only by a thousand iron tanks. The production uses sparse scenery, the orchestra in shirt sleeves on the back of the stage, and players briefly adjust hair then resume. It features a Chrisman woodworker, celestial horn, and an odd stringed instrument with a piercing cry from a distant speaker.
