Then at least 12 men walked toward me and told me to surrender my movie camera. TOOK HIS'CAMERA I told them if they took one more step Id let them have the camera right in the face and meant it. Then they jumped on me and dragged me in the dust. One man jumped on my back with his knees. They pushed my face in the dirt.

Lobster No Dope; Knows Way Around LOS ANGELES. (U.R) The primitive lobster has a mechanism that flashes tilt, tells him whether hes going up or down, and contains a built-in speedometer, according to Melvin Cohen, zoologist at the University of California at Los mechanism is known as a statocyst and functions somewhat like a humans inner ear, he explained. It consists of a sac containing grains of sand, fluid and tiny hairs. Pressure of sand and fluid against the hairs sets up nerve impulses that carry messages to the brain. The delicate mechanism sends out four types of messages.

One tells whether the lobster is moving "up or down, another furnishes direction (left or right, frontward or backward), a third signals tilt and rate of movement, and the fourth picks up vibrations from the ocean floor. Cohen said his studies were made primarily with eastern lobsters. They seem to be superior. at least in this respect, to the Pacific variety.
