A big black fish s'cow and calf''
we're caught in the Lowman trap at
Smallpox bay Monday night. The
young one was shot Tuesday morning
and the carcass went to the bottom.
but the mother fish was in the heart
of the trap and the men at work on
the trap could neither kill her nor
persuaded her to leave. although the
trap was left open all day and all
night. "At regular intervals she came
to the top of the water and with her
large tail thrashed the foam high over
the heads Of the workmen. A number
tried to kill her with rifles. but some
charm seemed to be at work which
made her smooth back bulletproof.
Various estimates Of the length Ut the
fish range from thirty to forty feet.
and the men who were at the trap say
that the immense body resembled
the bottom of an overturned tug -
the undulations could be seen above
the water line. -

The Theory Of Wireless Telegraphy

A force of men working under the
direction of G. u. Milligan. c0nstruc-
tion foreman for the United Wireless
Telegraph Company. erected q mast
200 feet in height at the company q
station on Bald hill this week. The
big mast is in seven sections. each
about thirty feet long. and is con-
structed of square timbers. the bottom
section. embedded nine feet in con-
crete, being fifteen inches square at
the bottom aud the top section about
six inches square at the top. From
each OF the joints where the timbers
are mitred and bolted together four
strong guy cables extend to eye-bolts
in the ground. The old mast Of the
Pacific Wireless Company. of which
the greater portion is tree. stands
near by and will also be used by the
United Company. which now has thir
teen stations in operation on this
coast, the stations in this state being
at Westport. near the entrance to
Gray's Harbor. at Seattle and at Fri
day Harbor. It is claimed that when
atmospheric conditions are favorable
"Westport can easily exchange signals
with the station at Honolulu.
Mr.. Milligan. who is superintend-
ing the work here. spent several years
in the government services in the
Philippines and in Alaska. In the
Seattle Times of last Sunday he is
quoted as saying:
"We do not need station at Neah
bay, the entrance to the strait, be-
cause all vessels are reported from the
Westport and the Friday Harbor
stations. At Friday Harbor. too.
conditions are particularly favorable.
people often ask why the site at
the University was selected for the
Seattle station. It is because we
there have no mountains. and there
Is broad fiat country to the south
ward.
"Wireless stations vary greatly as
to cost: some can be built for as
little as So. 900. and others require
as high as $4,000. The instru-
ments and apparatus in general are
costly. Each station includes q gen.
orator of electricity with which to
send the messages. and this represents
strength of from one to three horse
power.

ear receiver such as is worn by the

Incorporation, To
Be or Not To Be

It IL reported that the commission
era at their meeting next week will be-
asked to take definite action upon the
petition for the incorporation Of Fri.
day Harbor. which was fled many
months ago and ''laid over' from
time to time. Many more signatures
than the law requires were attached
to the petition and q csnsus taken by
order OF the commissioners establish
ed the fact that the population Of the
area proposed to be included within
the corporate limits 10 considerably
In excess Of the number required.
The requisite amount Of territory
being included and sixty or more
qualified electors having petitioned
for the submission of the question.
the law makes It mandatory upon the
commissioners to call an election for
that purpose. The islander UNDER
satnds that while the area described
in the petition was sufficient In extent
to comply with the law. objection to
the inclusion Of certain property was
subsequently made and that unless
this object is waived it may be neces-
sary to f1le q new petition before the
commissioners can be required to
call an election.
The islanders position in the mat
ter ought to be pretty we'll understood
by this time. It was the first to ad-
vocate incorporation and stood almost
alone in such advocacy when the
matter was made factor in the cleo
tion called for the purpose of voting
upon the question of bonding the
county for the erection of court
house. We believe now. as we did
then. that incorporation is necessary
in order to obtain public improve
ments which are absolutely essential
to the proper growth Of the town, to
the safety of business property and to
the health of the people. The utter
lack of FIRE protection is serious
menace to every place of business the
absence of any system of sewerage
the public health and the
lack of any corporate government
prevents us from controlling our own
affairs with respect to police reRula-
tion and the control of the liquor
traffic.

girls in the telephone exchange, and
ne hears the dots and dashes Of the
Morse code as they strike the system
Of wires above him. He sends BY
means of telegraph key.
1.-THE theory of wireless operation
is this: An impulse is thrown into
the aerial wires until they become
surchanged. then follows sort OF an
electric vacuum ss the current surges
downward into the earth. To All
this vacuum counter current rushes
back from the earth and recharges
the wires. It might be said that this
force pushes forth into the atmosphere
the electrical energy still remaining
in the farther reaches Of the wire net
work. and so the message starts of
into space.
s'For our work we use q current OF
electricity that atlernates go rapidly
Az to be almost incredible to the hu-
man mind. and yet its vibrations are
slow when compared with those of q
ray of light. Electricity is merely
the energy of ether. that indescribable
something that permeates all space
and even all water. By means of the
newest devices we compound the
alterations in the electric current
until we reach as high as 3. 900. 600,
600 second. Light waves 60 into
the trillions.
"When the wireless impulse is
speeding through the air It goes at
the rate of 186.O01 miles second.
As an indication of what this means.
q wave starting from Seattle could
encircle the earth seven times through
this same spot ere the second had
ended. These waves strike the net
work of wires forming station and
are cut by the threads of metal. The
wires vibrate in harmony, and SO the
impulse is transmitted into the ear of
the operator. through delicate ap-
parstus.
''The length of the waves may be
regulated by part of the mechanism
in each station. Thus it is possible
to attune different stations to the
same length of otherwise the
impulses would not be received. In
this way it is possible to keep mes
sages secret. Tor otherwise they might
be picked up by any station. How
ever. it is more difficult to regulate
this feature where stations are close
together than when they are far apart.

The Ball Game at Seguin

The ball game at Seguin in which
the locals we're defeated. was com
edy of errors. There are no excuses
to offer why the boys should not have
won the game. Both pitchers were
hit hard. Templin pitched the, first
two innings and McNamee finished
the game.
The score by innings was as follows !:
Innings / 2 8 A 5 81 8 9 total
Seguin 46 64 o 3 2 o. 25
Friday Hbr. 2 2 3 o o 9 2 2 %
The first part of the game consti-
tuted an exhibition of flrweorks by
both sides. Every man up hit the
sphere in which Seouin came ont
ahead. The flfth and sixth innings
the baseball was good. In the seventh
the locals started batting rally in
which they cleaned up nine runs.
Two errors in the seventh. one by
Baker and one by Nichols, were
costly. Had these not been made the
game would have been tied. The trip
homeward was not one of pleasure az
quite an umber OF the ladies and some
of the boys were indisposed owing to
the inclemency Of the weather. One
of the ball palyers was seen running
about with seven life preservers.
