"Here lies the body
Of Mabel Charlotte
Born a virgin
Died a harlot
She was a virgin
Till her 21st year
A remarkable thing
In Oxfordshire."

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
1. TO WALK SLINKY JR. DOWN STAIRS
Place Slinky Jr. on top stair. Grip coil at top and flip it over
toward middle of the next lower step, releasing hold on Slinky Jr.
Now Slinky Jr. takes over and walks downstairs all by itself.
2. TO PLAY WITH SLINKY JR. IN HANDS
Hold end coils of Slinky Jr. with both hands. Now raise and lower
each hand in a rhythmic motion.
3. TO WALK SLINKY JR. DOWN INCLINE OR SLOPE
Any board or table top with a non-slip surface will do. Slope surface
so rise equals absout 1 foot for every 4 foot length. Place Slinky
Jr. at top, flip and watch Slinky Jr. start down, end over end.
4. TO BOUNCE SLINKY JR. UP AND DOWN
Hold a few coils tightly in one hand, allowing rest of Slinky Jr. to
hang down. Now in a bouncing motion, move hand slowly up and down.
