[physical resonance] sympathetic vibrations; natural frequency, coupled vibration frequency; overtone; resonating cavity; sounding board, tuning fork.

These vibrations awakening response in the minds of those in harmony with them, tend to draw to one those other persons whose general character will fit in with the desires and ideas of the first person, or to repel those who are not harmonious therewith.

comme une plaie, Dans cet esprit, tremblant dès qu'il ose augurer, Oh! comment concevoir, comment se figurer Cette vibration communiquée aux tombes, Cette sommation

"That," he cried aloud, to the further astonishment and even alarm of his companion, "is another part of my discoveryan essential particular of it: the production of sound-vibrations fine and rapid enough to alter shapes!

The bar is not only longer, but softer, and as the vibrations increase in rapidity the time will come when it will bend by its own weight, and even when it will become a liquid and a gas.

If a body is either heated or loses its heat when placed in vacuo, he ascribes the conveyance of the heat in both cases "to the vibration of a much subtler medium than air"; and he considers this medium also the medium by which light is refracted and reflected, and by whose vibrations light communicates heat to bodies and is put into fits of easy reflection and transmission.

Here lies the home of school-boy life, With creaking stair and wind-swept hall, And, scarred by many a truant knife, Our old initials on the wall; Here resttheir keen vibrations mute

"And there," he whispered, his voice issuing from among the cushions, "there I have to stay until these vibrations subside, or until they do something which I cannot find words to describe properly or intelligibly to youand then, behold, I am back again.

Vibrations travel faster now; men would be foolish to expect that the new life will go journeying in classic vehicles.
