Until Others Are Ready.

Houghton's new wireless telegraph
station at the Douglass house is now
ready for business, the machinery all
being i'm place and the sending and
receiving portion of the equipment be-
ing in readiness for the placing of
messages. This is the announcement
from Manager r. E. Jones of the sta
tion which is one OF the several TO he
Installed in the upper peninsula and
around the lakes by the Radio Tele-
phone company.
II will be impossible however for
this station to accept any message at
this time, as there are no other sta
tons ready to receive these messages
If they are sent out into the air from
the top of the Douglass house. 1t is
probable that the station in Duluth
will he one of the first to be put in
service and it is possible that we will
be able to send wireless messages to
the head OF the lakes by the last Of
next month.

According to This, Extraordinary Ora

York Walters.

We have the word of a New York
magistrate that his salary of $1,000 a
year is scarcely big enough to enable
him to pay the expected tips at the
New York restaurants. The magis-
trate in question was called upon to
settle the matrimonial disputes of a
waiter and his wife. incidentally he
asked what pay the waiter received
and he was told 500 month. "And
how much in tips?" inquired the magis-
trate. The waiter hesitated ard final

First POSTAGE Stamps.

The postage stamp made it's first APP
pearance in 1889. Credit for its inven-
ton was due to James Chalmers, a
printer of Dundee who died in 1853.
England adopted the adhesive stamp

1889, and issued the first one for pub.
lie use on May 6. 1910. About
year later the stamp was introduced
into the United States and soon after
ward came into use in Bavaria, Bel
GUM and France.
The machine for perforating sheets
of stamps was invented and patented
by Henry Archer in 1S47. The Eng
lish postal authorities would take no
stock in 1t for some time, but G.. f.
Muntz, member of parliament for
Birmingham, made such a firm stand
for its adoption that on August 5. 1853.
the house of commons appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of the patent
and soon afterward perforated stamps

drivers of heavy vehicles used in
transportation fell into the way of
