Wireless Lights
 An Electric Bulb

LONDON. Monsieur Marconi wizard of the wireless, announces a marvellous development of the wire less-the lighting of an incandesceat electric lamp at distance of six miles by wireless current.
 The bulb was connected with a wireless receiver attached to the aer- ial of an ordinary wireless plant. A transmitter six miles away was con- nected with 10O-horsepower bat tery As soon as the power was applied the bulb was lighted.
 Signor Marconi hopes that this experiment may be the forerunner of the application of the wireless for the transmission of power, light ing and heating currents.
 At present. the inventor said, the first call is to put up wireless telegraphy. l can obtain distinctly audible messages l have been able to communicate quite easily and clearly for 100 miles by using or dinary receivers and an apparatus very much like the usual telephone. The difficulty lies with the trans hitter which is very heavy and needs two men to carry it,

Old Man Signs His
 Own Burial ermit

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal-Charles Ma rais, 61 years old, for fifty-five years resident of San Francisco and for a long period in the undertaking busi- ness, is the first man on record here to sign his own death certificate. Marais died recently, after a fall from a window of his home, in which he sustained fractured skull and internal injuries. Appreciating that the end was near, he sent for a blank burial certificate and filled it out himself. After he passed away this form was filed with the mortuary clerk.
 The clerk found the form correct enough, saving that whereas the number of years and months of Marais' life were given the number of days over the month were left blank, the victim of the fall not. of course, knowing how many days he had to live When the clerk dis covered the name of the person sign ing the burial certificate was the same as that of the deceased he made an investigation, which dis closed the facts in the case.

In the Iditarod Pioneer of Apri II appears the following commen the way the two dail! papers of Fairbanks and Tom Me Iowan prevented a mass meeting il Fairbanks a few weeks ago:
 "In Fairbanks they have way of doing diverting stunts that while furnishing something to talk about and possibly to oloat over, furnish an example that other Alaska cities should be slow to follow. A mass meeting was re- gently called through the efforts of one of the newspapers for the purpose of appointing a com- mittee to work for the terminus of the Alaska railroad at that point. On the plea that such a movement would possibly bring into question what was an ac- kno"leogeG fact tn fairbahkS) that Fairbanks must necessar- fly be the terminus-the meet ing was taken possession of by opponents of such action and it's object was defeated. Cities working at cross-purposes will not be in position to take ad- vantage of the opportunities to be presented during the next few yeas, and the sooner our up-riVer neiqhbors learn this, the better it will be for all con- cerned. hiaskans would do we'll to follow the example set by Seattle, and learn to pull to- gether"

By Stubbus

10 seem ready to do just what I told them 10 do have been getting balky Now. I can do pretty well with a balky horse. for since l got horses and am competing with these teamsters who do not have the in fluence l have. and I am making quite a success i'll business way But when it comes to handling a' balky man. | almost lose my pa tienCe
 l don't like so much criticism. IL hurts my feelings But what I real ly object to most is the suggestion that some fellows have been mak- ing lately that am not really my own political boss. and that I am taking orders from Tom McGowan. Of course, Tom and are great friends and I like to do what he think that and not Tom McGowan am running things in this town. One of these balky fellows came 10 me few days ago and said
 "Stubbus, what's the real inside of this combination entered into be tween you and Tommyrot McGowan to control the Democratic club in Fairbanks?"
 The impertinence of that fellow nearly got my goat. The idea that a common, ordinary man should come to me with a personal Ques ton of that sort. made me mad at once. and shaking my fist in his face l said
 m get you for this
 You know, that when l tell a man sometimes that I will get him, he just covers down into his boots and subsidies. But it was different with this fellow.
 "lsh ka bibble," he says, grinning down at me, But you want to be careful that while you are getting me you don't lose yourself"
 | didn't like the hidden meaning of his words, or the way he said them So l thought it would be best to be a little diplomatic. They say that all great men are diplo- matc, and as l am one, l have to be like the rest. Then l apolosized and took him back into my private office, and I filled him up with a lot of stuff about my loyalty to the Democratic party and my deter mination not to let any one come into the club who is not tried and true.
 Then l told him that Tom Nc Gowan had no strings on me, and that Tom always danced to my music I really believed at first that the fool believed what l told him, but after he was gone and l remembered the way he grinned at me. l began to doubt my effect on him.
 It's beginning to look as though will have to do some real work. l don't mean that will have to do any real work for my salary, for l can let my deputies do that and all I really needed to do is to see that We all get our salaries. . But what l mean is that those fel- lows down in Juneau will cause trouble for me if I don't head off this growing sentiment in Fairbanks favorable to Jim Wickersham. Of course. there are others who have to work against Jim, but l am the fellow that has been selected to do the work in the open, as well as under cover.
 could do much better if my political efforts were limited to fighting Jim Wickersham, but there are other things that are expected of me, in return for political favors, and sometimes I am afraid that even with all my great ability to rule men. may fall down in doing all
