What is a Statiscope made by Minerallac Electric Company in Chicago Illinois?

The statiscope is primarily designed to detect the electric field of a high voltage conductor, whether bare orinsulated. The end of the statiscope just has to come near the conductor, it does not actually have to come in contact with the conductor. In fact, it is probably best that it doesn't unless you know just how high the voltage is. When the presence of a high voltage field is detected, the neon tube will glow. The statiscope should be tested both before and after use by using a known energized high voltage circuit. That is done to be sure that the statiscope has not failed and that it will give, and has given, an accurate display. (One handy use for the statiscope is for checking the presence of proper voltage to auto spark plugs)

Well back in the year of i think in the late 1969 that area was run by the latin kings faction right there on montrose and paulina and cullom right in the middle of ravenswood school it was a a tuff neighborhod even with nice homes in the neighborhood it was a battle ground with the Latin Eagles that had there turf by lakeview highschool when school was in session you had the Simon city royals by ravenswood and irvingpark street and the gaylords east of montrose and clark.There was a ice cream shop on the corner of montrose and ashland called doctor jazz in the 70 but was closed down i think in the early or late 80 when 2 kids was gun down while eating ice cream in the place i think the gang the was responciable was the latin eagles or the Simon city royals.Montrose and Paulina was really ruff in them days

Answer

That area of Paulina was where I grew up. Back from 1970 thru 1990, the area was rough and on a downward spiral. The aforementioned gangs did exist, but are long gone. My best friend still lives on Hermitage and Montrose and has seen that area gentrify to the point where there are now million dollar properties there. I believe the gang members from back then are either in Jail or dead. There is a "Gaylords" website that I found. Its actually rather well put together. Oh by the way we, The Chase Park Boys" owned the Chase Park-Our Lady of Lourdes area back then. Most of us are now cops. Go figure......

How did Bushman die?

I assume that you know of the display at The Field Museum on the ground floor? The display is just off the elevator. I know that they have a panel about his life and death. If that fails, send the Field Museum scientists a question on their web site. Good luck.

I went to school in Chicago, in the mid 60's and had a childhood friend whose father worked with the great "Bushman" at the zoo. Little is known about the "specifics" of his death, yet Jimmy would sometimes mention that Bushman had a drinking and gambling problem, while also smoking a pack and a half of "camel straights" for years.

according to a LP Zoo publication, Bushman died of heart problems

How many murders did Chicago have in 2009?

According to the Chicago Tribune, based on police department statistics, there were 3,700 murders during the 8 years of Mr. Obama's administration. That may seem like a lot, but in context, it is not. Over all, the crime rate has remained about the same: except for a spike in 2016, murders have been on the decline. That said, there were about 461 murders in Chicago annually while Mr. Obama was president. On the other hand, when George W. Bush was president, there were about 555 a year; and the total number per year under President Obama is nearly the same as it was in the last few years of Mr. Bush's presidency. You may have heard an assertion by Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign that murders in Chicago were way up during the Obama years; that claim was not accurate.
