                  FOO ON THE FLIT
                           by
                Prof. L. M. Paul

   Were you ever awakened by a fly buzzing around your ears and tickling you on the nose? Surely nothing can be more exasperating than to be disturbed in the middle of a pleasant dream by one of these critters Perhaps it would be amusing for others to watch you as you try to discourage a flitting fly, in your semi-conscious condition. Just imagine how you look as you twist your schnozzle about until it appears that you are trying to touch your ears, in a vain effort to dislodge your unwelcome visitor. You may obtain a very good idea of how you might look by watching a rabbit as it busily nibbles cabbage. You can spare yourself all of this mental agony, and these grotesque contortions and schnozzle twitchings by the use of one of my automatic fly exterminators. 
   The operation of this device is exceedingly simple: as all you have to do is set it where the rays of the rising sun will shine through the window in the side of the cabinet. Care need only be taken in arranging the machine with the proper respect to your favorite sleeping position.

   EDITORS NOTE------
   It is indeed unfortunate, but it is here that Prof. Paul discontinued this highly informative, and much needed treatise on his technical discovery, of (we quote Prof. Paul) a perfect fly do-ridder, or what was his favorite term; do-riddifier. When the goodly Professor was approached in regards to finishing of the article, he evaded the issue, by declaring that he was at the present time engaged in some deep research, appertaining to an invention that he wishes to complete soon, to present to the readers of PLUTO. So we left the Prof. at his researches, for some time, and it happened that some one accidently, while passing the prof. while he was deeply engrossed, glanced at the title of the publication that he was perusing so avidly, and found that it was a copy of a 1911 Blue Book. Evidently the Prof. will be conducting researches for some time to come, as he has a file of the above mentioned periodicals, totaling about 300.
