Wireless for the Korea.
SAN FRANCISCO, October "a
wireless plant larger than any that have
been installed in any of the stations
of the United Wireless Company on
the Pacific is to he installed on the
Pacific Mail liner Korea during next
week, and will be IN readiness for OPP
eratiOns before the liner leaves on her
next trip to the Orient. Though it has
i been the declaration Of the managers
of the company that they would have
nothing TO do with the wireless until
It was perfected 10 a working basis on
] distances up to 1000 miles, it was re-
Gently decided that an experimental
plant would be established on one of
the liners.
The apparatus, which is combina
ton Of the two-kilowat and the four
kilowatt plants, has been manufactured
at the manufacturing plant of the
United Wireless Company at Seattle,
and has Just recently been completed.
1t was shipped on the City of Puebla
and arrived yesterday afternoon. n.
O. Nelson, manager of the plant at
Seattle. arrived on the steamer yester-
day with the apparatus and will super
intend the installation Of the appar-
atus on the Korea.
Before her last trip out the Korea
was measured and prepations made for
the installation of the plant, but at
that time it was not completed. If the
hopes of the makers are realized, the
plant will be able to pick up messages
: from San Francisco at Honolulu.
Manager Schwerin said last night
that the company had decided to keep
up tests of the wireless apparatus con-
: stantly until it is perfected to its high
=, est power.
Brought Hindu Immigrants.
Il On the forward deck of the Togo
Kisen Kaisha steamship Nippon Maru
which arrived from Yokohama yester-
day afternoon shortly after four
,,a1oaly 81 ofaaro0a DarsonUar attract ed
: some little attention because of her
5 strange attire. She sat in a wicker
chair in the midst of throng of
} Hindus, most Of whom wore red fezes.
4 She looked like a being of Omar Khay-
ri yam s time. 4 mantle of purple cloth
< was draped artistically about her head
{ falling over her shoulders and the
II bodice and skirt were of the same
- color of cloth reaching to her bare
, ankles. The cloth was edged with gold
trimming, the whole costume forming
a picturesque drapery. She is the wife
?. of one of the immigrants, and was
| treated with deep respect.
1t was curious crowd of imml-
grants Most of the men wore clothes
, with a distinct military or police cut
some even retaining the brass buttons
3 on their shoulder straps. The newt
D able bowl pipe with its long stem was
= ever present and formed a conspicuous
part of their belongings. Whenever 9
:. group of Hindus squat in a converse
| ton circle one man handles the pipe
He takes a Whit and passes the mouth
e" piece to his left-hand neighbor, who IL
10 turn passes it on to the next and sc
on around the circle.
0 At present there are four HinduE
q on Quarantine Island and two messe:
of cookery have TO be maintained be
cause two belong to one sect and two
10 TO another and the four will not par
