WIRELESS STATION
BUILT AT NORMAL
instrument Intercepts Messages
from Key West and Gets
Time from Illinois.

A recent innovation at the State
Normal school in this city, is a tele-
graph station by means of which COM
munication is being had daily with
Arlington, Va, Key West, Florida and
Springfield, Ill.
The aerial was constructed under
the supervision and direction of Prof
w. G. Lewis, and the work was done
by Harmon Deal, John Ivy and Guy
Armentrout, all of whom are inter-
ested in the study of the science to
which wireless telegraphy belongs.
Prof. Lewis last night stated that
at this time they have not installed a
receiving station, but it is the inten-
ton to do so in the near future.
AS requisition will soon be made to
the state authorities for assistance in
the way of additional apparatus and
necessary equipment, and application
will be made for government license
to conduct communication back and
forth with other licensed stations
throughout the country.
Every day at 8 o'clock, the time Is
signalled from Key West, Fla. and
Arlington, Va, and received accurate
ly at the Normal station. Boats are
heard very distinctly from the Gulf of
Mexico, through communication with
Key West Florida. Daily reports are
also received from Illinois Clock Com
pany at Springfield, Ill.
Instructions in the application and
practice of wireless telegraphy will be
be given, and the use of the continen-
tai code will be taught.
Since the completion Of the aerial
three days ago, muchinterest has been
aroused among the students, and in
order that ia large number of them
may receive the benefits of the study,
some twenty receivers will be asked
for among the various articles of
equipment that the state will be ex-
pected to provide.

corner of the third story, but before
the arrival of the firemen dense clouds
were rolling from all the windows of
the entire floor.
At first the firemen endeavored to
play on the flames from below, but
their efforts were without effect and
the fire continued to gain Roadway.
Finally they succeeded in reaching the
roof of the building, where they cut
holes and in few moments the burn
ing area was completely flooded and
the fire extinguished.
The water poured in torrents
through the floors from above and
created havoc through the lower part
of the building. While the stock was
damaged but slightly from the fire, it
is almost a total loss from the action
of the smoke and water.
Mr.. Hobbs, who was at his home
when the fire was discovered, whep
interviewed by Tribune representa-
tive, said:
81 have no idea how the fire origin
ated. When we closed the store at
about 10 o'clock last night, everything
seemed to be all right.
"This loss, 1 fear will ruin me. My
stock was worth $4,000 and l carried
insurance for $1,000. The fire did
but little damage, but everything was
badly injured by the water"
The fire was confined to the third
floor where a mass of waste and
scrap material was ignited. The
flames burned their way through the
floor in few places, but the damage
from fire was slight.
The furniture on the second floor
was almost submerged in water and
was considerably damaged. A large
stock Of clothing was also flooded.
The building which is the property
of the O'Bryan estate was not serious
ly damaged.
