How Do Wireless Waves rravel7

As the result o. s1udy Of the yari-
Gus types Of receiving systems en-
ployed in wireless telcgraphy, Charles

He thinks that the theory that the

the observed facts than does the other
theory that they pass through the free

Los Angeles. Cal. Feb. 10. That the
power Of evil habit may reassert itself

The text Is John V, IA. "Sin no more

sorrowfully admits the fact though he
explains 1t by saying that such men

MARINES To GUARD
u. S. PROPERTY'ASHORE

Major MeKelvey, United States Ma
.rine Corps, who is a passenger on the
transport Sheridan for Manila, was
asked yesterday about the cable dis
batch in the Advertiser which stated
that President Roosevelt had ordered
all marines off warships to man the
navy yards. The Major replied that
the order meant that every marine
would be sent ashore, leaving the war
ships entirely to the sailor crews.
The reason for the new move, he
said, was due to the necessity for ma
rine guards ashore, where their ser
vices were needed to guard public
property. the shore demands being on
steady increase. The order, how
ever, would not be permanent.
