Fun on the Wireless.

One Of the many unsuspected possibiI
tiles Of wireless telegraphy was developed
down the harbor on the occasion Of the
second cup race. To gay that an electrical
storm ragged Is to put the case mildly.
On the water were three boats endeavor
ing to transmit news to three stations on
the shore. The rivals Were unable' to
agree on the question of precedence with
the result that to spite one another they
bOmbarded their several stations with
news so persistently and continuously
that only one coherent wireless message
reached the excited crowds In Herald
square and Park row. When, owing to
the haze that enyeloped the yachts, au-
thenttc, or even approximate, facts were
the poetry of the sea, which got even
more hopelessy mixed than sea poetry Is
accustomed to be. Afterward they shift
ed to religious poetry. The Mariconi OPP
orator on board the Chetolah led off with
1.-The Wreck of the Hesperus," closely
followed by 1.-THE Ancient Mariner" from
the De Forest operator .on the Bowi1er.
The resulting Information was picked up
by the Marcont receiving station at ia
maica
It was the good sloop Shamrock
That sailed the Summer sea.
by thy missing chain and anchor, too,
Now wherefore beardest thou me?"
The De Forest company at Coney Is
land made the message as follows:
1t was the Ancient Liptons
And he hoped for one in three;
But alas! no sup from the Yankee cup
Win cheer his company.
BY and by the station at Brooklyn navy
yard got the following:
Sham Rock Of Ages number three!
Why did put my faith In thee!
A variant reading came from Jamaica:
Shamrocks enough I've put to sea.
Henceforth I'll hide myself in tea.
Now, though the drift OF events may
in common justice both to Sir Thomas
and Signor Marconi, to say nothing OF
the yachting public. the competing COM
panies should be obliged to cut lots for
precedence.-New York Times.

WORLDS FAIR NEWS NOTES.
Grounds and Buildings of the Great St. Louis
Exposition Assuming Shape.

Grounds and Buildings of the Great St. Louis
Exposition Assuming Shape.
The Art Buildings, in view of the
permanency of the central structure,
are considered by some to have been
the most rapidly constructed of any of
the main Exposition buildings. It is
now assured that it will be completed
on the date desired.
Moose horns, measuring sixty eight
and halls inches from tip to tip, and
with a convex measurement of eighty
three and quarter inches, will be ex-
hibited at the World Fair in Alaska's
display. The set is believed to be the
most perfect IN the world, and is
owned by W. E. Carlin and William
Crum of Dawson.
ORGANS building at the Worlds
Fair will be a wigwam, 1S0 feet high.
1t will be primarily an exhibit of the
lumber resources of the State, and will
be constructed of trees 200 feet long,
crossing $50 feet above the ground,
after the manner of the primitive
| houses of the American Indians. The
structure will occupy ou the State
plateau an area of 5Ox1OO feet, and will
cost $1O,O 900.
A model theatre will be feature of
the dramatic display at the Worlds
Fair. Chas. B. Dillingham;, Chief of
the Dramatic Department, is the in
ventor. In this theatre everything
will be run by electricity. Waits be-
tween acts will be reduced to a min
imum. There will be two stages, so
that while one scene is being exhib-
tied another may be arranged on the
other stage.
A skeleton Of whale seventy eight
feet long will be an attraction of the
Government scientific exhibit at the
Worlds FAIR. The whale was caught
recently off the south coast of New
Foundland by a party of scientists
from the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington The specimen is of the
sulphur bottom variety, with a head
twenty feet in length, and the greatest
height of body eleven feet A plaster
cast will be made in Washington, and
this placed side by side at the World s
Fair with the articuIated skeleton,
making the first exhibit which has
ever been prepared in this way.
Electric launches, large electric
barges, Venetian gondolas and large
number of o her small craft will carry
visitors over the two miles of water
way during the Worlds Fair. The
electric launches and barges will ply
along a regular course, carrying pas
sengers between stations the same as
the intramural railroad. Boat land
lngs will be supplied in various parts
of the grounds. A feature of the
water craft will be fleet of boats of
all nations, including the houseboat
of China, the Balso of India, the out
riggers of the South Sea Islanders,
the surf boats of Hawaii, the canoes
and dug-outs of the American Indian
and the catamaran of Australia.

in the wake of the Reliance carrying a

CAN'T HELP IT.
Coffee Nerves Always on Edge.

The easy way to get rid of coffee
nerves on edge is to quit the coffee and
drink well made Postum Food Coffee
in it's place.
When the Postum is thoroughly boil
ed it furnishes rich tasting food drink
and it is then easy and pleasant to shift
from the drug to the food coffee.
A Washington lady says: For a
long time I suffered so from nervous
headache and was so weak and worn
out all the time that I was hardly able
to do my housework Every little thing
worried me so, and the noise of my two
little children almost drove me wild.

headaches grew more painful at first
but was not surprised at this and was
determined to let coffee alone and give
Postum fair trial. In few days
Postum had driven most of the drug

THE ENEMY"
Makes a Feint Attack Off
Bar Harbor.
Heavy Firing Heard, Friday Night,
but No Serious Engagement.
Defence Is Good, But No One Knows
Who Wins.

Portland, Me, Aug. What is be-
lieved to be the first gun in the game
of mimic war off the eastern New
England coast between two fleets of the
navy was heard, tonight, at Bar Har
boz in the direction of Mount Desert
Rock The enemy at that time had
for Il period of about two days and Q
half, but up to this morning none of
the vessels of the attacking fleet had
been sighted.
At an early hour today, several yes
sells, supposed to be a part of Admiral
Sands fleet, were sighted some dis
lance off shore, but disappeared shortly
after.
At 1915 O'Clock tonight, the inhabi-
tants of the little town of Eden, gen.
orally known as Bar Harbor were
startled by the sound of heavy firing off
at sea. At that time the weather was
clear and a full moon was shining
so that observation off shore was pos
sible for some miles.
1t hardly seemed as if the enemy"
would choose such conditions to run the
gauntlet of Admiral Barker's patrol
and as the firing only lasted about five
minutes it was the general belief in
Bar Harbor that the attack was in the
nature of a feint.
The conditions up to noon, today,
were favorable to the attacking fleet,
as the weather was very thick all along
the coast, but a strong northwest
breeze set in soon after that time and
within few hours the fog had been
driven to sea and at sunset a good OBJ
servation could be had for many miles,
Similar conditions are predicted for the
next forty-eight hours, so that the
enemy will probably have hard task
to evade the defending squadron, make
a harbor and hold it for five hours.
This accomplished the game will be
won.
