Pneumatic Fire Alarm TeIerrapn
System g.


A new mechanical and pneumatic
fire alarm system has been put upon
the market, which embodies a mag
neto- electric machine for the trans
mission Of a telegraphic alarm to the
fire department headquarters. In this
system the raising Of the temperature
of the room above the normal is in
stantly indicated both withint the house
and at the fire station. The system
consists essentially of three parts, viz,
a thermostat, which acts under the in
f1uence of the heated air; an annunci-
atOr, which receives the alarm from
the detector or thermOstat, and indi-
Gates it by visual room or floor signal
and the ringing of a bell, and a trans
m1tter, which is also actuated by the
thermostat, and transmits the alarm
by wire to predetermined station.
All these are connected by closed
pipes within the building. The annun-
ciator has many duties to perform. In
the first place, as soon as it receives
the alarm from the 'thermostat, it's
clockwork releases vibrating lever,
which sounds a gong. 1t also controls
a number of bellows connected to
their respective pipes, which, when
actuated by the impulse of air from
the detector, drop a shutter and re-
lease the clockwork, thus indicating
the location Of the fire. In other
words, the location of the fire is i'm
mediately made known to the occu-
pant of every room in the building.
The local alarms runs for about fif-
teen minutes. It is located, preferably,
just inside the main entrance of the
building. The transmitter, besides
sending the alarm to the fire station,
is connected with the central exchange
Of the local telephone company, so
that if the residents Of the house in
which the fire breaks out happen to
be out Of town, they may, by previous
arrangement, be promptly appraised Of
the fact by telephone.

The grocer sends+the new brand Of
baking powder simply because it costs
him so much less and he can
make more profit by selling it than he
can on the Royal. The Royal is made
from the very finest materials and
costs much more than any other brand,
which accounts for it's superiority, al
though it is sold to consumers at the
same price.

What the Thumb Indicates

"AaI the IHumD ln0dHHteS.
The thumb is now regarded by the
thoughtful student of palmistry as the
little bird that whispers secrets about
character. The woman's thumb stands
at right angles to her hands every
time. If a man wants a submissive
wife let him see to it that he weds a
woman whose thumbs lie fat or droop
a little. The weak mans thumb is
weak and pendant; the strong mans
thumb is strong and erect. This same
little bird can be relied on to whisper
into a maiden's ear secrets she will
like to know about the man in whom
she is interested. You can tell at
glance at mans thumb whether he
is an aimless thinker or a man who
carries his ideas or some one else's
into execution.-New York Evening

PIONEER MILL BURNED.
Oldest SawmiIl I'm Ballard Food for the
Flames-Loss SO, 900.

At 4.30 yesterday morning the oldest
sawmilI, now known as the Winsor mill.
in Ballard was burned TO the ground, with
a loss roughly estimated by Thomas Win
sor at $4,000. with no insurance. When the
fire was discovered the mill was envel-
oped IN flames, so that II was impossible
70 tell in what part OF the building the
fire started. There was no night watch
man about the premises. but some of the
men went carefully through the mill
about 10 O'Clock the night previous, and
found everything all safe. with no fire
anywhere.
1t was too late for the fire department
70 save tho mill when the alarm was
given. but good work was done IN pre-
venting the fire spreading TO the neigh
boring dwellings. Mr.. Winsor's delivery
team. kept in "A stable adjoining the mill.
was saved. and also several tons OF hay,
damaged somewhat by fire and water.
A stream OF water was kept playing on
the engine boiler and other machinery all
morning TO protect II as much as possible
from damage by the heat
The mill had a daily capacity of o, o0o
feet and employed from ten 10 fifteen
men. II is expected the machinery will be
saved in fairly good condition and that
Mr. Winsor will remove IL TO his new mill
at the foot OF Fourth avenue.
The burned mill was built in the fall Of
1855 by J. +. Sinclair. Hon. John Leary
and W. r. Ballard. and the firm was
called the Gilman Park Lumber Company.
At that time the townsite Of Ballard was
covered with a dense forest and the mill
and small log cabin. still standing, were
che only buildings in the town. This mill
was the pioneer OF Billiards. manufacto-
rles. and furnished the lumber not only TO
build nearly all the dwellings and stores.
but fer the construction OF all the other
mills which were built there AT that time.
The mill afterwards passed into the hands
OF $. y. Murphy and ]. F. Sinclair, and
was sold by them to Hon. II. G. Bond,
who sold the machinery to Thomas Win
sor.
