ing capable of picking up any high
power station in the United States,
Canada and Central America. On
cold winter nights they can hear the
distant station of Colon, Panama,
talking with Key West
Frequently the "stand-by' signal is
heard being sent by some government
station that has just picked up an IS.
O. S.; then one is held tense with
excitement, straining every muscle to
catch each faint whisper of the rescu-
ers. At such times orders may be
heard going up and down the coast
for certain stations to "stand by" and
be ready to receive further orders.
In such circumstances all coastal
stations remain quiet, listening to
what is going on, for the warning
has rapidly been transmitted up and
down the coast. Probably II to "a
hours afterwards one reads in the pa
pers where some ship has struck a
reef or collided with another ship.
There are a few wireless stations in
the United States today which are
sending out wireless waves that can
not be detected by the ordinary wire

of such rapid vibration that the HUI
man ear is unable to distinguish them
and apparatus must be provided to
break up such high-frequency waves

can adjust for Tuckerton, N. J., wire

sending is like the chirp of canary,
constantly changing from a fute-like
whistle to the silvery ring of bell.
They can also hear many other sta
tions using the "undamped" wave

these signals and who have no knowl-
edge Of wireless exclaim, "Isn't it
wonderful?'

BROWNING, KING & co.

Most everyone of our readers and
friends in Minneapolis and surround
ing territory knows where this con-
Germ is located, and also knows that it
has been established for many years.,
but few know exactly how long.
TO be precise. the Browning, King
and Company store was established at
415-17-1o Nicollet Avenue as long ago
as Sept. 4th, $780, In May this year
they had their large opening at their
elegant new store at the corner of
Fifth and Nicollet, half block up and
on the opposite side of the street from
the old store. Mr.. C. L. Johnson is
the manager in charge of this great
establishment, and he has been con-
nected with the concern for twenty
five years. The new store of the COM
pany is one of the show places of the
city, and occupies a main floor space
OF slxty-elght by one hundred and
twenty feet, with full basement of the
same size. In their many years of
dealing with the public of Minneapolis
and surrounding country districts, the
concern has established a reputation
for courteous treatment, fair dealing
and high-class merchandise sold, that
is the envy of all competitors. The
clothing sold is made in factories that
belong to the firm, which in itself is
a unique feature. The factories are
located in New York City, and from
there comes the modish and popular
priced goods which has made the
name of Browning, King so we'll
known.
Mems clothing, boys clothing and
children's clothing, together with &C
cessory haberdashery and notions of
wear make up the stock of this store.
The officers of the company are: Mr..
VIM. Browning, president, and Henry
King Browning, secretary. Don't for
get that this firm are manufacturers
and retailers of all that is best in
clothes for men and boys, uniforms
and liveries, haberdashery and hats,
and also recollect that they have six

A pork and crop production boy of
Minnesota made $11S net profit for

To combat the rather general i'm
preston that competitive examina-
tions in all cases mean the answering
of stereotyped technical questions,
Mr.. Wales said:
For these high-grade positions

ments are needed an examination is

they have done since graduation They
also may be asked to submit an orig
inal thesis or report on published
works, and they are required to give
the names of persons able and com
petent to testify as to their experience
and personal fitness
Confidential inquiry Is made by the
commission from various sources as
well as of all persons referred to by
the applicant. Gratifyingly accurate
and discriminating testimony Is OBJ
tanned by this means OF confidential
communication. Such testimony APP
proximates, IL not equals, the testi-
mony adduced upon cross-examination
in judicial proceedings A demonstra-
ton of the ability of the competitive
system to obtain high-class men for
technical positions has been made
within the past year, in connection
with the employment of men to APP
praise the value of the property Of
common carriers in the United States
For this work the interstate COM
merce commission required men with
qualifications ranging all the way from
rodman and chairman to senior posi-
tions in civil, mechanical, structural,
electrical and architectural engineer
ing, as well as motive power men and
expert accountants
There have been approximately
$4,000 applicants for these positions,
and the task OF sitting the wheat from
the chaff and of grading the wheat
after the sitting was one of consider
lble magnitude; but it was done. and
it was done SO we'll that the Interstate
commerce commission expressed its
qualification to find that 1t could Sc
cure force so well equipped to per
form the gigantic task of obtaining
an accurate appraisal Of the value OF
common carrier property. A system
which can successfully secure a com
petent force of high-grade engineers
for this valuation work could surely
provide the proper kind of men to
have charge OF the construction and
maintenance of public highways"
1t is expected that steps will be
taken to wage an active campaign in
every state for the elimination az the
spoils system and to substitute for it
the merit system.
