'Boomerang' is the hunting weapon of the Australian aborigine. It is a curved piece of hard wood, about 2ft. 6 inches long. It is flat on one side and rounded on the other. A slight twist in the angle of one of the 'wings' makes it return to the owner when thrown. But when it hits something on the way, it cannot return. Special nonreturning types are made for use in warfare.
