Immediately shins up the pole to
get out of the way and in dancing
around in his eagerness the coyote
steps into the trap. The traps are
fastened to drags and the captured
animal usually drags them away a
short distance. Having been re-
lieved of his immediate danger the
cat becomes tired of clinging to the
pole and goes back to the ground
and sets up his yowl again. The
result is that another coyote makes
his appearance and meets the same
fate as his predecessor. In this way
five of the animals were caught in a

INTERESTING, IF TRUE

It is said that one of the Horse
Heaven farmers has unique way of
catching coyotes. He sets a sharp
ened pole in the ground and to this
fastens a Thomas cat with short
chain. The chain is fastened to the
pole by ring which will slip up
and down easily. Around the pole
a ring of steel traps are set. The
sharpened end of the pole prevents
the cat from roosting on the pole
and he then takes his place on the
ground and sets up a yowl. This
attracts the hungry coyote which
makes dash for Thomas. The cat

HOW WIRELESS WORKS

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Many correspondents are asking for description of how wireless telegraph
 works. The fact of such system has
 been known to everybody for years, but
 the means by which messages are trans
 mitted are not generally understood. It is impossible to go into details, but a few suggestions are offered which may satisfy
 those not inclined to deeper study.
 As is known, light and heat move in
 waves whose lengths can be measured.
 Thus, the sun gives out in every direction
 light in a series of undulating waves,
 which may not only be measured, but de-
 flected. polarized and so on. Some idea of this may be gained from the well known fact that when a stone is thrown Into a smooth pool of water series of circular waves extends in all directions. If any floating objects come within these waves they are oscillated.
 It was the lamented Professor Hertz
 who discovered that electricity, like light
 and heat, also moves In waves which may
 be measured. Just precisely how these | waves pass through the atmosphere is
 not wholly understood, but it is believed
 that they have some relation to the ether
 of space, which is omnipresent and which is believed to constitute all matter under different negative electrical conditions. In | wireless telegraphy series of Hertzian
 waves is set up by powerful electrical dynamos or batteries, and these are dis charged from the top of high mast or | pole These wages extend In all directions, | and-unless their force is expended by dis | tance--excite certain effects in the re-
 ceivers of wireless telegraphy instruments within the zone, just as the waves dis I turb chips on pond. Messages are sent
 and received somewhat on the plan of the
 ordinary Morse code by wires, in that electrical impulses are regulated so as to spell words according to a code.
 | In recent years many kinds of receivers
 have been used and the process is now simpler than formerly, but any successful | transmission of waves depends a good deal on the state of the atmosphere, cleo when many wireless outfits are working in | the same zone much confusion results
 an1 often messages are transmitted with
 great difficulty and sometimes not at all. | This may account for some of the delays and confusions of the last few days. | To Marconi belongs the credit of making a practical success of the discoveries of | others, but to Hertz belongs the credit of | making the system possible

Senator Bourne's Defeat

Senator Bourne, who is nothing if not progressive, was defeated in Ore gon's primary in his effort to secure the republican nomination for United States Senator. His opponent is un- known outside of that state, and he may be as progressive as MT. Bourne himself.
 The trouble with MT. Bourne relates to non-residence. He rarely visited Oregon, having large interests in Massachusetts and other states. He has gone, it has been stated, whole year without seeing his adopted state. It is but another case of carpetbag- ism, and it seems to be no more pala- table in Oregon than it once was in the south.
 Senator Bourne refused to take part in the primary campaign, and his rival was thus left free to gain votes. His opponent, if elected, will have a reputation to make in the Senate, whereas Senator Bourne had become a trained official in that body.

Regarding the Liquor Habit

"The casual observer who sees much of city life remarks decided change in the saloon business" said commercial tray eler of long experience And the change referred to is in the line of improvement. The United States internal revenue sta tistics show that the consumption of whisky is on the increase, but, neverthe- less, I would say from general observa- tions that there is less hard drinking or habitual tipping among men who are not total abstainers than was the case few years ago. In other words the business man who used to think nothing of taking three or four drinks in the middle of the day and three or four more late in the afternoon before going home, seldom takes even one drink during the day.
 "The saloon business in rapidly grow ing city like Birmingham. with large floating population and hundreds of visi- tors. is very profitable, I suppose. but one may glance at the men lined up at the counter and not recognize a single prominent citizen of his acquaintance. have long been a total abstainer myself but I have always been, and always will be, against prohibition. I think every city of considerable size where a majority of the people favor the strictly regulated saloon that it is better to have the saloon. But the best way after all to promote real temperance is to encourage the beer trade and the sale of light wine and put such a heavy tax on strong drink as to make it rarity. Tn the meantime it is a good sign to see less drinking during business hours

Sanitary Conditions of the City

The Jefferson county Board of Health has asked City Health Officer Robert Nelson to present on Monday night next report on the city's san itary condition. The city's health is menaced, and the physicians of the city see the dangers presented, and they are not willing to remain silent. This is patriotism on their part of the best sort.
 The Age-Herald hopes Health Of ficer Nelson will present the naked truth regardless of sections or inter- ests. Let the public have the whole truth. There is no other way in which valuable lives may be preserved
 The report to be presented on Mon day night will naturally deal too with remedies, and altogether it promises to be a document of deep interest to 150,00O people.

Taft and Roosevelt in Massachusetts

Taft and Roosevelt Tn Massachusetts
 On Tuesday next the voters of Mas sachusetts will hold primaries, and on the republican side it is freely admit ted that Roosevelt has gained some ground. The young voters are cap tured by the colonel's aggressiveness. The more matured members of the re- publican party say they would take to the woods sooner than vote for Roose- welt. The feeling is bitter, and the line up is largely matter of age in Massachusetts.
 The state is well filled with speak CTS this week, and no county will be overlooked. The old guard speakers will be led by ex-Governor Long and Congressman Mccall, while Bervende, Poindexter, Borah, Clapp and lot of younger men will endeavor to induce the young men to support Roosevelt. The colonel himself will speak Tn Mas sachusetts in the closing days of the campaign.
 There is a growing feeling that the result in Massachusetts will be de- cisive.. If Roosevelt duplicates in Mas sachusetts his victories in Illinois and Pennsylvania, he will secure the nom- ination, but if Taft can carry Massa- chusetts it will be proof that the wave has been checked and he may win at Chicago. Neither can, however, be elected in November.
