Daring Wire Walk At Geneva By Prof Chapuis
A Geneva university professor M Chapuis repeatedly slides along a half mile steel wire from quarries above Geneva to the valley below. The 0.75 inch line spans up to 980 feet between supports at 160 feet high with a 40 to 5 degree slope. He endures burns and torn clothing as he maintains balance on a swaying line. Berlin crime reports rise yearly with 620 incidents in 1964 per 100 000 inhabitants surpassing other cities.

Speculative cotton scheme ends with receiver appointed
A Chicago Tribune excerpt warns against fraudulent schemes like a cotton speculation company that promised 6 to 70 percent annual profits. It used ministers and teachers as solicitors, operated in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, and paid 10 percent commissions. Early dividends appeared, but a Philadelphia paper investigation led to a receiver, exposing assets and liabilities. The piece notes recurrences of such schemes and public gullibility despite punishments.

First Snowdrop and Rose: A Poem Fragment
The speaker muses on being a snowdrop the year's first, imagining beauty and heartache. They ask whether a royal rose would bend to theirs, and ponder leaves dropped at a beloved's feet. The image shifts to a field flower among sowers, nettles, campion, dock, and weeds as a working hoe remains.
