UnquestiOnably, wireless telegraphy
has done much to insure the safety OF
ocean travel. The rescue of the pas

Flores is another proof of it's value
When the call went out for help two
steamers at once got the message, and
after race of $50 miles, arrived on
the scene in time to prevent any loss
of life 1t was certainly a notable
achievement, and one that will give re-
newed confidence 10 those who have
occasion to travel upon the ocean.

Italians who were at the station 10
take the train to Chishoms Mills to
work on the new mill there, stood
within few feet of them. One of the
Italians noticing the gray haired and
uniformed veterans, and without a
moments hesitation, took off his hat
and bowed as gracefully as an
aristocrat. This action was noticed by
many people in the shed and some OF
them showed their pleasure and APP

could be.
