Ends should just touch while therivet nicely clears when placed with the carvedside down upon a table or other flat surface. 11 Fig. 2. III. To throw Horizontal circle, bend blades untilthey cross each other at right angles, then takethe end of one of the blades between the thumband forefinger, holding Boomerang in an up-right vertical position (Figure 2), with the•carved or hollow side out. Then throw straight (12) in front of you, just hard enough to make bladescarry around the circle, making no allowance forgravity as you would when throwing a stone, forthe Boomerang will adjust itself; but it will, as. Fig. 3. it travels around the circle, gradually turn itselfinto a horizontal position, thus keeping it fromfalling to the ground, but the thrower must nottry to make it turn over,— just throw straight (13) ahead (Figure 3), diagonally across and againstthe wind. If, when returning, the Boomerang-should pass to your left, you should throw moreto your right or more nearly against the wind;and if it passes in front of you and to your right,throw to the left or more nearly against thewind. Remember that the Boomerang when ac-curately thrown should encompass the circlewithout rising higher than your head. TheBoomerang should be started off in an uprightposition, whirling end over end, and fast enoughto cause stripes to blend together and appearlike a series of rings revolving in the air, asshown in Figure 4.
