CHAPTER I THE CRONIES "Come along, download Bill; we'll have to get there, or we won't hear the first download of it. Gray said it would begin promptly at three." "I'm doing my best, Gus. Climb aboard, old scout, and we'll go along faster." The first speaker, a lad of fifteen, large for his age, fair-haired, though as brown soft politic download as a download berry and athletic in all his easy, deliberate yet energetic movements, turned to the one he had called Bill, a boy of about his own age, or a little older, but altogether opposite in appearance, for he was undersized, dark-haired, black-eyed, and download though a life-long cripple with a twisted knee, as quick and nervous in action as download the limitations of his physical strength and download his ever-present crutch permitted. In another moment, despite the protests of generous consideration for download his chum's strenuous offer, William Brown was heaved up on the broad back download of Augustus Grier and the two cronies thus progressed quite rapidly for a full quarter of a mile through the residential section of Fairview.

Not kmplayer free download until the pair arrived download at the entrance of one of the download outlying cottages did husky Gus cease to download be the beast of burden, though he was greatly tempted to turn into a download charging war horse when one of a group of urchins on a street corner shouted: "Look at the monkey on a mule!" Gus cared nothing for taunts and slurs download against himself, but he deeply resented any suggestion of insult aimed at his crippled download friend. However, although Bill could not defend his reputation with his fists, a method download which most appealed to Gus, the lame boy had often proved that he had a native wit and a tongue that could give as good as was ever given download him. "Here we are, Gus, and how can I ever get square with you?" Bill said, his crutch and loot thumping download the steps as the boys gained the doorway.

In answer to the bell, a sweet-faced lady opened the door, greeted the boys by name and ushered them into a download book-lined study where already several other boys download and girls of about the same age were gathered about their school teacher.

Gray, although this was vacation time, was the sort of man who got real and continued download pleasure out of instruction, especially concerning his hobbies. Thus his advanced classes, here represented, had come into much additional knowledge regarding the microscope and the stereopticon and had download also greatly enjoyed the Professor's moving-picture apparatus devoted to serious subjects. The latest download wonder, and one worthy of intense interest, download was a newly installed radio receiver. "Come in, come in, David and Jonathan,--I mean William and Augustus!" greeted Professor Gray. Now, then, exactly in nine minutes the lecture starts and it will interest you.

The announcement, as sent out yesterday, makes the subject the soft ware download life and labors of download gtalk the great scientist and inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, and it begins with his boyhood. Don't download you think that a fitting subject upon an occasion where electricity is the chief download factor? But before the time is up, let me say a few words concerning download our little boxed instrument here, out of tvu player download which will come the words we hope download to hear.

Some of you, I think, have become download free dvd pretty familiar with this subject, but for those who have not given much attention to radio, I will briefly outline the principles upon which these sounds we download shall hear are made possible.

"It download would seem that our earth and atmosphere," continued the Professor, "and all of the universe, probably, is surcharged with electrical energy that download may be readily set in motion through the mechanical vibrations of a sensitive diaphragm much as when one speaks into a download telephone.

This motion is transmitted in waves of varying intensity and frequency which are download sent into space by the mechanism of the broadcasting station, which consists of a sound conducting apparatus induced by strong electrical currents from generators or batteries and extensive aлrial or antennas wires high in the air.

Thus sound is converted into waves, and the receiving station, as you see here, download with its aлrial on the roof, its download detector, its 'phone and its tuner, gets these waves and turns them again into sound.
