SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM
 IN WIRELESS TElEGRAPHY
How Messages Can Be Sent Without Being Picked Up by Outsiders.

Paris, Nov. 23.-i3ellini and Tosi. Italian scientists, who, with the sane tion of the French government, have been conducting experiments in wire less telegraphy for the past eighteen months on the coast of Normandy announce that they have solved the problem of independent wireless com munication. The result, they say, has been secured by means of two rec tangular aerials fixed at right angles and so attached ta the apparatus as to permit the transmission of unequal currents.
 The inventors say they have picked out messages from every English wireless station and from ships at sea and transmitted messages from Pourville to Havre and other points without the waves being perceptible in other stations lying just off the line of transmission.

1t is understood, will contribute $4,000

Engineer John Rogers of the Ocean
Shore requested that the matter of the
proposed grade changes at Division and
Florida streets, In lieu of the abandoned
yiaduct proposition, go over two weeks.
This was done.
Businessmen of Polk street petitioned
that the board appropriate money for
the permanent repaving of that thor
oughfare between, Post and Jackson
streets. They were informed that the
necessary sum, $4,000, was not in
sight, and the suggestion was made
that the property owners purchase that
amount of the city's 8 n per cent street

advisement.
The committee recommended a
change of the sidewalk width on both
Polk and McAllister streets to IL feet
In accordance with the recommendation
of the board of works upon the petit
tion of interested property owners. The
project of repaving McAllister between
Jones and Fillmore was postponed for

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
IN TEACHERS CASE
COrOner's Jury Returns Unex.
pected Verdict at the Alice
Jordan Inquest
Recommendation Made for Safe
guards for Patrons at
Ferry Slips

Based on the testimony of w. G. Jen-
kins, apron tender of the Santa Fe slip,
coroner's jury yesterday afternoon in
the case of Alice Jordan, who was
drowned on the night of October 1 in
the waters of the bay, brought in a
verdict of accidental death and recon-
mended that the different companies
operating ferries be compelled to fur
nish some safeguard as a protection
for their patrons at all of their slips.
Jenkins testified that he was watch
ing the woman as she approached the
slip, and just as she walked off the end
called to her to notify her of her
danger in going closer to the water.
His voice, he claimed, was drowned by
the noise caused by the freight clerks
in their handling of freight, and this
he attributes as the cause for the
woman not needing his warning.
1t was brought out in the testimony
of the woman's brother, E. F. Jordan.
that the woman had evidently just ar
rived on this side of the bay as he
testified that he had communicated
with her by telephone in Oakland about
an hour before the stated time of her
being drowned. The verdict came as a
surprise to all the attendants at the in
quest.
