WIRELESS SYSTEM
 FOR Tilt COAST

Washington, July 2l-Very, soon the United States navy department will have the entire Pacific coast equipped with wireless stations so that any ship sailing along the coast equipped with wireless, will be able to communicate with the land at all times, from the northern to the southern boundary Of the country, storm or fair weather.
 It is believed that such will be the pressure of shippers and underwriters, even the sailing craft plying the Pacific will quickly be equipped with the wire less apparatus which will enable the public to be in touch with the cargoes afloat at all times, In anticipation Of the coming changes the department will issue a book of instructions, and will suggest that working knowledge of wireless be included in navigation instruction.
 It is felt that the installation will save many lives at sea, permitting the putting out of the lite savers to ships in distress where help has usually been prayed for in vain.
