Abstract: We consider a classical problem of free oscillations of the elastic weightless string with $N$ beads which has been originally studied by Lagrange. We prove that for $N$ being prime or a power of $2$ the maximal displacement of the bead from its equilibrium position increases to infinity as $N\to\infty$ while the total energy of system remains bounded by independent on $N$ constant.
