Pacific Wireless Success.

HONOLULU, Hawaii Nov. g.
Within the past week regular Associat-
ed Press dispatches have been re-
ceived here by wireless telegraph
from San Francisco, distance of 210O
miles. Until these appeared and were
verefied many persons had been in
clined to be skeptical regarding the
reports that the new wireless station
just completed, had been in cOmmuni-
cation with numerous points on the
pacific coast, and even with vessels in
the Behring sea.
The completion of the Pacific cable
to the islands five years ago brought
the territory into close touch with the
rest of the world and the establishing
of a practical working wireless ssy-
tenn communicating not only with the
mainland, but with vessels at all points
en- route will have the effect Of large
ly removing the feeling of isolation
which strangers have been wont to
feel in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Before

Six burglaries in the short space I

Walla Walla who have heretofore been
fortunate in experiencing but few. if
any, such depredations, and the fact
that all of them Were committed in a
section of the city which is not covered
