over the body of Sidney Walker, the
man who tainted last evening and fell
from porch, breaking his neck, was

tion the practlcability of his idea for
utilizing the ocean waves to furnish
motive power for the world, Fred Star
atter more than thirty years given to
the study of the subject, today complet-
ed work on his plant at the north end
OF the breakwater and declared that
within few days he would be pre-
pared to give public demonstrations
with his machinery The plant which
Is partly sheltered by a house of rough
boards is at the far end of the break
water and is one of the most visited
as well as Interesting attractions here.
LII its construction five carloads of
machinery have been used more than
a third of which soon broke under the
strain and pressure that 1t was forced
to bear and was replaced by parts
manufactured to contain the greatest
strength possible.
Mr. Star asserts that in the con-
struction of his motor he has over
come the effect Of changing seas and
that lie can construct machinery to
operate commercial plant that moth
ing short of a tidal wave will put out
of working order. In construction the
motor appears to the layman little diff
ferent from other motors that have
been brought to public notice from time
to time. 1t is in the evolution of
ratchet FOR the operation of his COM
pressors that will operate with both
the rising and falling undulation of the
waves that the secret of the inventors $
success is embodied.
Machinists had said that the ba sic
principles of mechanics forbid the pos
slbility of Il right and left ratchet, but
Mr.. Star is now in possession of tes-
timonials from these same persons con-
Tossing that he has upset one of the
Oldest esta blished tenetS of science and
has solved the problem that spelled
failure to his predecessors. Mr. Star
is now figuring OH building q CONNER
cial plant somewhere along the Atlantic
coast and says that he is assrued of
capital to carry out his plans. He
claims that the cost of establishing
plant such as he proposes will be less
than 100000, and that he will then have
the means of producing power equal
to plants now in use costing $1,50o, 600.
Negotiations are under way for the
