Mr.. Sewall had not been in good
health for some time, although he was
not considered to be seriously Ill. He

Wireless Telegraphy People Meet

An attempt was made yesterday at
Kaimuki to raise the hot air balloon
which had been constructed for the
wireless telegraphy people to ascertain
how high their pole at Kaimuki must
be put to make the system effective be-
tween here and Molokal. Owing to the
fact that the balloon had not been
made air tight 1t would not rise and
another attempt WIN be made to raise
II to-day.
There Is some doubt as to whether
Il is the station In this city that does
not work well or the one at Molokai.
The experts say the fault lies I'm the
fact that the pole at Kaimuki IL not
high enough to counteract the influence
of the mountains. while Captain Rose
