Each station is supposed to keep a man
on duty day and night. whose business It
is to watch the next station, In case It
may have a message to send. a tele-
scope on a tripod is kept ready, adjusted
to the proper focus. so that when the next
station sends up its rockets all you ave
to do is to answer by waving here we
are or something to that effect. when
you at once set some one at the telescope
and get ready your code book SO as to
have an answer ready If one is to be
given.
The service has much In 1t to attract
bright young men. Who chafe under the
restraints of infantry duty and long for
the semblance of freedom which the sig
nalnen have. They move about appar-
entity at their own v~olition, but they are
as much at the beck and call of their
superior officers as anyone else in the
army. although they do not march in
D front or by tours. nor halt at a
given order. nor resume marching at the
sound of a bugle. Then from their lone
" eyries they watch the moving of
armies. Far removed from the actual
combat they gaze at the W eontending
forces throwing themselves at each 9TH
er's throat down in the valley. wrapped
in great swathes of smoke like Titanic
winding sheets. slit with flame. The
boom of the big guns comes to them soft
" and the patter Of musketry sounds ike
the purring of a sewing machine. All the
time they must watch the restless flag
on the far distant hill. which, forever
falling from the zenith to one side or
the other. speaks of vital portent now and
then. The flags make no sound, but in
their wavings the rise or fall of a nation
may be concealed. Success or failure,
victory or defeat, may all hand in the
waving folds of those pieces of bunting.
and SO it may happen that a squad of
sigIalmen may from their craggy height
control the fortunes of millions yet UNI
born. This may be because in the future
wars are to be short and everything may
turn on a single battle, and the battle
may turn on the prompt notification Of
some hurrying body OF achievements
of a weak spot in the enemy's line which
it might take hours to discover if it were
not for the eagle-eyed s~ignalmen watch
ing the whole countryside from mountain

not to hold any more weekly runs until
the cool of the fall, as several of the
members have complained that it is too
hot to ride but still would go out on the
scheduled runs because of love of the
club.

long strides toward the competition Of
their new clubhouse on the loop Of the
Boulevard at North Hudson. The new
pageant has had the effect of ringing

ture of the organization and several men
of wealth have become interested in the
scheme so that it is an assured success.

sent the most enthusiastic riders in the
club. Chairman Leahy will be the cause
of a great boom to the Wheeling Division

in a large number Of new members whose
chief source of enjoyment is wheeling.
Our Own Rifle Club Cyclers have been
doing some hard work in their efforts to
locate a suitable site for the new club
house. and it is thought that one of the
several places they have under considera-
ton will be chosen shortly.

The Myrtles defeated the Alvas after
they had disposed of the Reds in a much
easier manner thar they won the first
game. The Nvas thought they were go

team, found they were a party to an
easy method of cooling the Myrtles off.
Mcdonnell pitched a better game than he
did earlier in the day and he was not
throwing balls to a crowd of batters that
were as strong as the Reds, so there was
but one result. The Alvas were unable
to do any great damage to the bail. They
got IA hits, but the fielding of the Myr-
ties was enough to prevent anything like
a dangerous score being tailed for the
Alvas- The latter need not be ashamed
of their game, however. They were
against a much stronger team and their
showing was good. For the first three
innings little Tommy Mannion, the Al
vas pitcher, was very week and he was
hit hard. During this time the Myrtles
scored fifteen runs, five in each of the
innings, but after that Mannion pitched
as he never pitched before. He held the

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
It Ticks ON Serenely While ALI
Around TS Burns.

The only article tina remains intact,
and escaped the blaze during the fierce
fire in Podesta's liquor store, at Ninth
and Washington streets, Hoboken, which
occurred a little more than three weeks
ago, was a large clock. That this was not
lost was indeed a miracle, as everything
near it was burned to ashes.
The clock is indeed an old one, having
been in Mr.. Podesta's possession for a
number of years. Mr.. Podesta prizes it
very highly, and it goes without saying
that he is happy of the fact that the time
piece escaped. The clock has continued
to tick and tell time right along, just as
if nothing a hammered.
