Ambitious Young Mer Crss srize Wireless CIub-WiII Have Forty Foot Aeriai-October Devotons at St. Mary's Church.


 A number of enterprising local young men have gotten together recently and have formed a wireless telegraphy club, the name of which is to be the Young Mems Wireless club. Those who originated the idea and have contrib uted work towards the foundation of the club are Thomas Carter, Arnold Headen Frederick Collins and Theo. Bamford. They have been at work for the last few weeks constructing a small shed on Depot Hill, on the banks of the Shetucket river, and the building is almost completed. An aerial forty feet high will be erected and as this spot is on very high ground the young men feel confident that they have se- cured a fine position for their purpose. A set of receiving instruments Is to be purchased soon. as 1t Is thought best to get this apparatus before the sending instruments. AS soon as the members have mastered the code and procured sufficient funds a complete set of both sending and receiving in struments' will be at their disposal.
 This project has the hearty approval of many people in town who feel that just such g. thing is both instructive less teIegraphy Is now so important in the worlds activities.
