Those who appeal most to us, either in themselves or by the emphasis they borrow from their similarity to other individuals, are those we remember and regard as the centres around which variations oscillate. These men are natural: all others are more or less eccentric. Ideal characters.
He took two equal weights of a salt of radium and a salt of barium, which he made oscillate one after the other in a torsion balance. But for this explanation to be admitted, it would evidently need to be supported by very numerous facts.
"There is nothing earthly about that thing, sir. Macquarrie's house is a long piece from the shore, and Lund's is hidden by the woods. See; look there, sir, for the love of Heaven!" and the stout sailor trembled like a child as the light, describing a sharp curve, rose ten or twelve feet higher into the air, where it seemed to oscillate violently for a few seconds, and then to be at rest.
There is a vast difference between one of the old New York brownstone houses and one of the fourteen-storied buildings near the river, but between this and the Times Square Building or the still more amazing Flat Iron Building, which is said to oscillate at the top it is so far from the ground there is very little difference.
Between these two views the slaves of logic have oscillated for centuries, and to all appearance will continue to oscillate for centuries more. People who think as against those who feel and act want hard and fast lines without which, indeed, they cannot think at all; these lines are as it were steps cut on a slope of ice without which there would be no descending it.
Is there any progress to be traced in morality, or does it simply oscillate, within certain limits, round a fixed point?
When the key was depressed, this would be instantly communicated to the electro-magnet, and cause the needle to oscillate, these oscillations being marked upon the smoked surface of the revolving drum. A number of successful tests were conducted by means of this apparatus. The instruments thus recorded a definite physical, intelligent force.
The immobility of the human nostril indicates a certain narrowness of soul; never did the nose of a miser oscillate; it contracts like the lips; he locks up his face as he does his money.
Civilization and barbarism are states between which men oscillate, passing from one to the other with equal ease, according to the influences brought to bear upon them. The mythical traditions of almost all peoples place at the beginning of the history of the race, a “golden age,” which is the opposite of savagery and barbarism.
Fields and trees, hills and winding streams, even when enlivened by the society of the lower animals, were not all-sufficient for her happiness. It was all very well for her father to oscillate between Cavendish Square and Kingthorpe, avoiding the expense and trouble of autumn touring, and taking his rest and his pleasure in this rustic retreat.
