A demonstration OF wireless tele.
Rrapby was given by Robert j. Csburne,
chemist al the High SCHOOL, Tues
day. Mr.. Osborne has made study OF
the subject for some tine ana he will
explain It's principles 10 his stuuents.
As SHOWN Tuesday, the experiment
was oser @ small space, hui it shuwed
the possibi tiles OF the system.
Cn-m.st Osborne had the various
batteries and wires Tor the transmitting
and receiving of the sound waves 10 the
lectui Groom o. thu chemical de artnent
and they wers 80 close together that as
be suggest6d, u looked liza wire rather
than re sss te eRraphy. Yet The
rrsa'est principle involved was dsnon-
strated
1he current for sending thu message
was supplied by cell furnishing high
tension interrupted discharges over q
wire erected about 10 feet in the dir
a'oug the si1s u casa Jae ,eceiyiug
apparatus was sIn,i a. wire on the
other de of the case and grounded

One addition JET to DO made is an
automatic taper to strike the glass

starts the relay ms rument and il

thing must be done with the cobersr
Mr.. Osborne descr bes the principle
of the e.ectric waves in this way /: Have
two stakes standing in pool of water !;
agitats one Of them and il ceuses a
series of waves growing larger and
'sfRer. which eventually strike the
otaer stake, and causes it also to form
ssyss in the water; these two stakes
represent the transmitting and recelv-
ing wires Of the wireless system.
When he gets the Apparatus effected,
Mr.. Csbcrne will probably give q

Lost Their Roll.

Oscar Thompson and +. +. Wilson
came down from Kendall last week
for visit to the county seat, but
through an entirely unforeseen circum-
stance the pleasure of their vacation
was irredeemably spoiled. They ar
rived in town late on Friday evening
and at once engaged a room in the
American house. In their possession
they claimed that they had $40 in a
pocketbook, which, for safety, was
placed underneath the pillow of the
bed which was occupied by them.
In the morning they arose and
dressed quickly, starting down town,
presumably to get an eye opener
entirely forgetting to take the pock-
etbook from underneath the pillow.
Shortly afterwards it occurred to
them that they had lost the money
and a return to the hotel at two
forty gait was made; the money was
gone and the boys appealed to the
sheriff's office for redress. A search
warrant was placed in the hands of
Undersheriff Slater who conducted a
thorough investigation throughout
the hotel but failed to find the cash
or any trace of it,
