 Line About Finished.

East Lake, April 27.-(Special) )-East Lake is keeping up with the rest of the district in building activity No less than twenty-five permits have been issued dur ing the last thirty days for houses that are to cost $500 and over. Several $lO,00O residences are being built on Lake High lands, and this section is becoming fa- nous for its beautiful homes and grounds.
 The new Seventy-seventh street car line, which is nearing completion, will be a great aid in making this and the in- termediate section accessible. The line, which is about five miles long, will con- meet some of the most popular districts of the town, and furnish them direct con- veyance to the main line and Birming ham.
 The authorities are being congratu- lated on the orderly manner in which the pleasure resort at the lake is being conducted this year. Under the manage ment of Fred A. Montebaro it seems to be enjoying the most successful period in it's history.
 Things are comparatively quiet at present. but the town is stirred with an undercurrent of political excitement, and 1t is expected that a warm time" will be seen when the municipal election oc- CUTS on May :.

WIRELESS INSTRUMENT
 FORETOLD EARTHQUAKE

not called, and shortly after midnight the instruments became so charged that Thurston had to abandon using the keys.
 Wednesday morning he heard of the earthquake, and knew the upheaval had affected the air currents and charged the wireless station. With this knowledge he remained on duty, and recorded the subsequent quakes on the California coast even to the last reported tremble felt at Los Angeles Thursday. By com pairing the records at the station with the reports of the several qualxes, it showed that the sensitive instruments anticipated the quakes by several hours. Scientists are now studying the discovery with a view of putting it to practical use.
 The experience of Operator Thurston Tuesday sight was one of terror with the mysteries of nature, and he was we'll nigh nervous wreck before he discov- cred the cause of the instruments wild actions on that Hateful night. A report in detail is now being prepared for the benefit of science.

DuN,S REVIEW.

New York, April FIR. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 By their munihcent response to the needs of earthquake sufferers, the Ameri- can people have not only given further evidence of the vast resources of the na- ton, but displayed qualities of heart and spirit that provide new reasons for op timism regarding the future. San Fran cisco will rise from it's ashes greater than before, and aside from some forcer selling of securities or temporary pres sure in the money market the nation as a whole will receive no set back. Mod- fled demands by the anthracite coal min CTS increase the chances of an early set tlement of the controversy. and other wise the business situation is unusually free from friction for the season Weather conditions are favorable for retail trade and building operations, while the crop outlook is bright on the whole, although some sections report delay in planting on account of the excessive moisture, there is much complaint regarding the scarcity of contributions. A large de- mand and satisfactory results are antlci- pated at the sale of wash fabric next week.
 Manufacturing plants are working to their full capacity in the leading indus- tries, especially from furnaces and steel mills, and there Is little idle machinery at footwear factories and textile mills. Railway earnings thus far reported for April surpass last years by S2 per cent, and foreign commerce at this port shows a gain of $93S,6 ,6l9 in imports, and small loss of $283,619 in exports as compared with the same week of 1905. Prices of the sixty of the attractive railway se- curities declined to the lowest average since last August, and many rules very firm withdrawals by the west offsetting receipts of gold from abroad Mercantile are somewhat irregular, which may be traced to financial stringency. Bank exchanges at New York show an increase of 10,4 per cent in comparison

TRADE BRIGHTENS
 WITH GOOD WEATHER
Spring Season Making Up for
 Lost Time
IRON AND STEEL STEADY
Building Is Active Beyond Precedent for the Season-The Coal Indus try Is Still stagnated Be-
 cause of Strike.

New York, April F. Bradstreets sum mary of the current week of trade will say tomorrow:
 Trade brightens in consonance with con- tinued good weather Trade, crop and industrial reports alike are favorable, and the spring season, which started little late is making up well for lost time. Good weather has helped the farmers to catch up with a rather late spring sea- son and regain lost ground. retail trade has been helped, jobbers report continued liberal reorders to fill depleted stocks, there is more doing fall business. iron and steel are very steady, with more conf- dence as to the third and last quarters, and aside from the coal industry, which is still stagnated, though there Is even here a better prospect, industry is brisk as seldom if ever before. Building is certainly active. beyond precedent for this season. There is some improvement noted in collections, bank elearngs are larger. money Is easier large gold imports part ly balancing heavy remittances to the Pa cihc coast, and railroad earnings reflect expansion over the best returns of pre- ceding years at this tlme
 Business failures for the week ending April 26 number l77, against l67 last year. and 199 In the like week of 1905. In Can ada failures for the week number %. as against r this week last year.

Galveston, Tex, April 27.-(Special0- The wireless telegraph as seismograph was forcefully demonstrated at the sta- tion here during the past three days, and Operator E. M. Thurston had g. thrilling experience with the air currents record ing the vibrations in the tuning wires ten hours in advance of the first quake of the earth at San Francisco. Tuesday night the sputtering and sparks of cleo tricity in the station aroused the opera tor, who, believing some ship at sea or land station of the wireless system was calling the Galveston station, answered the summons. He signalled through the air currents repeatedly. but failed to get an intelligent response. The sputtering and sparks continued at intervals, and the wires acted like they were possessed. He examined the station and every piece of mechanism, but failing to solve the mystery, remained on duty throughout the night. He signalled Denver and East St. Louis, 800 miles away, but they had
