THE AUTOMATIC SWITCHBOARD.
An Invention That Does Away With
Need of the Telephone Girl.
San Francisco Examiner.

San Francisco Examiner.
An invention that threatens to extin-
guish the "hello girl" from off the face of
the earth is now being put into shape for
practical operation in Chicago. 1t is
known as the Stronger automatic switch
board. The cut accompanying will give
an excellent idea of the board. 1t shows
three columns of figures, with the num-
bers 1, 900. loo, 10 and at the top in con-
spicuous size. If telephone renter wants
to call up the number 325 he strikes the 5
in the hundred column, the in the ten
column and the 5 in the unit column. II
he should want $3.50 he will strike the
thousand column three times the hun
bred column four times and the ten
column tive times. This will give the
connections at the central office, and after
the line has been used pressure upon the
release button in the lower right hand
corner of the keyboard, as shown in the
cut, will "ring off, the connection.
and the line is in readiness to be
used by some one else. The telephone
does not radically differ from other tele-
phones, save that the keyboard makes it
appear something like a typewriting
machine.
At the central office the mechanism
which gives this connection is much more
complex, and it is as effective as it is COM
of inattention and never forgets; and it
always hears distinctly.
The principle observed is much the same
as that followed in the telegraph sounder
when operated by distance key. BY this
device every telephone renter does the
work OF connection himself. He relies
upon machine that is always prompt in

Scattle's Patriotism and Loyalty.


The constituents of Senator Kinnaar, a warm
friend of Judge Turner and who Tad pledged
the latter his vote in the senatorial contest,
met the other night and demanded that Mr..
kinnear vote for Allen. "ConSider my friend
ship for Turner and toe solemn pledges I have
given him." implored the senator. "You, your
friends and your promises were as s,othing be-
side the interests of the city of seattle" re-
lentless.y answered his constituents. Mr.. Kin
near Immediately decided that tae voice of
his people was the voice of h5s god: he
promised TO vote for Allen. We do not
admire Kinnear for yielding, but We do admire
the spirit Of those men of seattle: First last
and always they are for the Queen City; In
every contest their battle cry Is ".seattle" If
they win they exult in a victory for aher home;
ii they lose they are eager for asiother fray;
they never give up. This is the secret OF Sc
a,tle's growth and prosperity. - There
are many smaller cities In the nav state of
Washington which ii they could substitute
something Of that sort for the vari5us kinds OF
internal strife which prevail, would be vastly
proited. We do not speak for Cheia.is. There
are many indications that tie pa9ple of this
town consider each other good neig sbors.

California Senatorial Contest.

SAcRAMEoTo, Cal, Jan. 15.-The third
week OF the thirtieth session of the legis-
iature beginning tomorrow will be pro-
ductive of important legislation. Among
the matters coming up is the election of
United States senator to succeed FELTON,.
While the general opinion is that White
will be nominated on the third ballot at
the farthest. rumors of combinations
which continue to arise make it impossi-
bic to state anything definite before the
first ballot has been taken. 1t is claimed
on apparently good authority that Carl
son, the San Diego independent, and
Burke, the San Francisco non-partisan,
have arranged to secure the credit OF cast
ing the deciding votes. but that they, to-
gether with certain Republicans, will vote
for their favorite candidates on the first
ballot.

than if the girl at the central, under the
present system. had given the subscriber
wrong connection, as is very often done.
II the man at the keyboard will only keep
his wits about hum, he will not make this
mistake.
The Stronger device has been adopted at
La Porte, Ind, and as a result there are
not only no more telephone girls at La
Porte, but the subscribers declare in nu-
merous letters to the inventor that they
never were so we'll served as now. There
are nearly 100 subscribers at La Porte.
Mr. Stronger, the Inventor, has given
all his life to the study of electricity, and
he is one of the best theoretical electri-
cans in the nation. Six years ago he
began to investigate the telephone. quickly
saw that it needed improvement. and the
automatic switch is the result. He is
man of about 90 years. small in stature.
with highly intelligent face and gentle
manner. Perhaps it may be of interest to
the telephone girls TO know that Mr..
Stronger is widower and likely to be a
rich man at no distant day.

Judge Turner is being reproached and repro
bated for trying to produce a deadlock in the
senatorial election. This is unjust The judge
Is trying to be elected, aud If the friends OF Sem
ator Allen. who are so loudly protesting to have
all the virtues involved in the controversy, do
not prevent him from Immediately carrying out
his endeavors. there will be no deadlock. These
people who are so roundly berating Turner and
his friends do not at all seem to consider that
Aliens supporters are as much responsible for
the deadlock. If there is to be one, as Turner's
are. Yet, this 10 the TACT If they don't like a
deadiock-ff they think it is dangerous, or in
any way detrimental to the public interests,
they can readily put an end to it by voting for
Judge Turner.

There is but one Interpretation to place upon
Judge Turner's refusal to enter the caucus He
knows that he has not a majority of Republi-
can votes; that there is no hope of his nomina-
ton in such a caucus and he knows that he can
never be elerted except by combination with
Democrats or Populists or with both. He is I'M
willing to make any sacrifices for the good of
his party or take any chances in the results of
such a caucus or to execute its decisions. 1t
looks very much like Judge Turner is afraid.
