"When a very heavy body is nicely balanced, a very small force is adequate to give it motion. Hence Logan or rocking stones were amongst the 'piae fraudes' of the Druids.

Found deep inside a toolbox I picked up at a pretty fantastic estate sale in Montavilla today. A box of matches from The Village Green in Cottage Grove Oregon. (Up until recently an old school resort motor hotel, now apartments apparently.)
