Abstract
PROF. GILBERT WEST has recently described1 an ingenious experiment in which a stream of smoke-laden air is made to issue from a hole in a cylindrical resonator when an appropriate tuning fork is brought near. This is said to demonstrate the pressure of sound, but I am much in doubt as to whether it does so.
