Italian Fliers Aim to Turn Icarus Legend Real
In Turin a group of Italian engineers and aviation enthusiasts form the Institute of Human Muscular Flight to develop man powered flight. They plan a spring derby with prizes up to 250 dollars and a 5000 dollar Italian prize, testing winged apparatuses that rely on muscle rather than fixed wings. Colonel Alberto Bettica builds a 55 pound wing set to lift a 150 pound pilot using swinging wing motion.

Rags to Riches or Tests of Wit in Job Hiring
A rural tale recalls a farm hand selection prank. A man asks candidates how many leases a giraffe has to test them. One answer four, another five, another nine, but the employer chooses the man who is related by marriage rather than the correct guess.
