An Experiment. Was Tried Mt Pow
derhOrn Lake, Mimi, which
Proved a Success.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 19.-An ex-
pertinent in wireless telephoning
which was tried at Powderhorn Lake
Sunday afternoon proved decided
success and may take the place of the
old system of wires.
The originator of the idea is J. C.
Kelsey, who is in charge of the
switchboard at the Northwestern Tel
ephone Exchange Co.'S building, and
with him were five other employees of
the company.
The method is a very simple one.
On either sides of the lake they
strung a wire about one hundred
feet in length, the two being parallel
They were above the ground, and
fastened with grounding pins to in
sure better induction. An ordinary
local telephone transmitter and re-
ceiver were attached to either wire
When the transmitting circuit is cut
in it induces the current into the re-
ceiving circuit and when the receiv-
ing circuit is cut in it induces the
circuit into the transmitting circuit.
In this way the advantage of both
circuits is secured, with out the use
of wire, and as a result the conversa-
ton can be carried on more easily
and with better results The wires
to which the instruments were at
tached run parallel and there are two
currents in operation all the time.
The one going from one end of the
wire to the other and the second flow
ing to its affinity, as it were-that is,
the parallel wires.
The use of the system is not con-
fined to water. 1t is available on
land if good ground facilities can be
secured. The eXperimenters say that
they could easily converse a distance
of 20 miles with the crude instru-
ments used Sunday.

THE HAWAIIAN RACE.
The Decrease Has Been Steadily Growing
Less for Some Years-The Eject
of Annexation.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The decrease
of the Hawaiian race has been steadi-
ly growing less rapid for the past sew
eral decades, especially the female
population, according TO the annual
report of ex-President Sanford B.
Dole, governor of Hawaii. The in
crease of part Hawaiians tends to
keep down the number of pure Ha-
waiians. While the figures show race
progress, the census reports as to
surviving children are discouraging
In both the censuses of 1890 and 1895
the pure Hawaiian percentage of sur
vivors was the lowest of all national
tiles represented in the islands. An
encouraging outlook for the Ha-
waiians exists in the fact that out of
6,327 owners of real estate in 1896,
1906 were pure Hawaiians and 1872
part Hawaiians.
The facts are significant as showing
the ownership of holdings by so large
a number of pure Hawaiians and the
evident tendency of the race to ac-
quire homesteads. The cX-president
reports that there is reason to eX-
pect that annexation is going to in
fluence Hawaiian character very ia
vorably through the changed condi-
tions effected Their old dependence
on their chiefs has ceased, and they
are forced to rely much on them
selves, and their footing with the
,,-bs+oe -, osa,,a,.,1 -, +1,c f,,+,,,o - I
be equal. The political privileges
they enjoy in common with other
American citizens, he says. will tend
to educate them in public affairs
The total valuation of real estate in
Hawaii subject to ad valorem assess
ment in 1900 is $97,4D1.5S4. The re-
ceipts from taxes are estimated at
S1,341,65O. The commerce of Hawaii
is shown for the period between JAM
uary l and June IA. 1900, as follows:
Imports, $10,6S3, SIG; exports, $14,-
404, 496; customs revenue, 1897, 1877
With the exception of the produc-
ton of sugar, rice, firewood, fertil-
iZers and live stock, and the promo
ton of irrigation, the development of
the natural resources of the Hawaiian
islands is stated to have scarcely be-
gun. recommendations are submit
ted for legislation thoroughly revis-
ing the Hawaiian corporation laws,
in view of some deficiencies and cues
tionable features in the same and new
conditions since annexation; legisla-
ton for appointment of various com
.missioners for the protection of food
fishes; providing for education of
children unable to pass the required
medical examinations; for irrigation
legislation, and for general act COW
ering municipal systems. The report
says the present aggregate area of the
public lands is approximately 1.T72,-
713 acres, valued at So, 500, 500.

STRIKES FOR MORE PAY.

The month of May opened up with u
large number of labor strikes all over
the country. In nearly every case, the
strike is for ssshorter hours and higher
wages" This is one of the certain
symptoms of generally employed labor
and admittedly prosperous condition.
In 1896 when hundreds of thousands
of men we're tramping the streets of
the cities looking for work, when the
army of the unemployed vas common
ly supposed to be over a million bile
bodied men, when the soup house was
in evidence, and wages were at the
lowest ebb. there were no strikes for
higher wages or shorter hours. Work
ingmen were only too glad to get work
at any wage and under any condition.
AS strikes for higher wages would have
been useless when employers could
go on the street and fill the places of
the strikers with plenty of men willing
to accept even smaller wages than
those against which the protest was
made. 1t is only when labor is we'll
employed, and when capital is bidding
for labor that we have strikes for high
err wages and shorter hours. Hence
such strikes are "A symptom of prosper

that campaign he prophesied a fol
lows, and put the statement in his
book, ''The First Battle" Hear him:
s'The gold standard means deare1

harder times; harder times means

out of work means more people des'

then, there are more things than this
