Lions as family pets by HL Cross in New York menagerie
HL El Cross, a former animal buyer for menageries, argues all animals can be made to fit human expectations. He kept two lions at home in New York for years, with cubs sold at $1,000 each and parents offered at $6,000, and he plans to keep them for life. One obstinate cub tore out its cage bottom, but Cross subdued it with measured raps to the nasal cavity and paws. He notes lions need access to ground to stay healthy and that they prefer solitude or sociability in turn, much like humans. The piece cites St Paul Pioneer Press observations of Cross’s experiences.

How A Man Walks In The Natural Gait Arm Leg Diagonal Motion
The article argues that human walking follows a diagonal limb pattern with the right arm and left leg moving together and the left arm with the right leg. It notes that the natural gait is comfortable and appears ludicrous when done incorrectly, citing observers from daily life and athletes. It also mentions unrelated notes about Montans, Peterson damages, and a physician's remark on income sources.
