Osborne Fire Finder Goes
to Washington for Exhibit

Portland, Ore, Dec. 2.-District For
ester George H. Cecil, Portland, Ore,
has just shipped a complete Osborne
fire finder outfit to Washington, d. G.,
for exhibit purposes in the east
The instrument was invented by w.
b. Osborne OF the Portland office of the
forest service and has proved a COM
rplete success. One hundred and twenty
five of the fire finders were used by
lookout men on the National forests Of
Oregon and Washington during the sea
son of 1916. 1t is this type of instru-
ment that is in use at the Mt. Hood
lookout station, lI,225 feet above sea
level
The fire finder consists of metal
plate p inches in diameter, bearing A
Topographic map of the region where it
is used, a graduated circle is laid ont
around the map. To the center of the
plate is pivoted an alidade consisting
of straight edge and two sights, with
an arm extending across the circle on
which the course of the line OF sight
from the instrument to the fire is read.
The plate and aidade are mounted on q
short track which permits sliding the
plate, when necessary, to avoid post
or window frame in sighting ON fire.
The instrument is securely mounted
ON a support at the proper height for
convenient use and the map oriented 80
it is square with the world. " When
used in the open where there are no OH
structions the track is unnecessary.
There is a simple attachment ON the
sights which permit reading the vertical
angle of the fire under observation.
When Il fire is discovered the lookout
man turns the alidade until he has a
line of sights ON tile fire and reads the
true bearing on the graduated circle.
/ He then reads the vertical angle of tho
fire. Referring to his typograrnlc map,
he plats a profile Of the country along
this line of sight and, by drawing the
line indicated by the vertical angle. To-
Gates or finds the fire at the point
whore this line intersects the profile.
1 The whole operation takes less than
five minutes and the fire is located
without the necessity of waiting until
a second course upon it is reported from
another station, as was formerly done
The Osborne fire finder is already
in general use in this district and it IL
, expected that it will become part of tho
standard equipment for fire lookout
stations throughout the country. Re-
puests for the instrument have been re-
ceived by Mr.. Cecil from the Canadiun
Forest reserve and from Il number of
private timebr owners associations.

British Destroyers
Convoy Norwegian
Merchantmen Now
By VIM. Philip Simms

On Board "S. S. Jupiter somewhere
in the North Sea, Nov. ll.-(By mai)
German U-boats are getting so pro-
miscuous with Norwegian shipping that
conveys are now resOrted to in special
cases.
As the Jupiter Norwegian boat,
churns up the water of the North Sea
from Bergen to Newcastle, a British
destroyer races along on either side.
We are just pulling out Of the fjord
far up which Bergen lies when ahead
of us, slowly cruising up and down the
three mile limit line, we spied two low
lying craft which everyone knew at a
glance were destroyers. Some said they
were Norwegian, other they were Brit
ish. They were British. Norway, not
being at war with Germany, cannot
take it for granted that she is going
to be attacked. England can and does.
| As the Jupiter sped ON the British
dcstroyers turned gracefully and
caught the pace. And they were to hang
on until Newcastle was safely reached
Each time vessel of any kind
! lheaves in sight, whether sailing ship,
/ trawler, fishing smack or what not,
! the Jupiter changes her course some
what, and, like .belligercnt terrier,
the nearest destroyer bears down upon
it at terrific speed. They are taking
no chances. U-boats have way of dis
gulsing themselves, or hiding behind
other craft and the British seamcn arc
on the watch for all such tricks.
These precautions are not idle The
waters are known to be fairly thick
with German subs and one had just
taken from the "Prince Henrik - sew
eral eouricrs of the allies and thrown
them in prison. 1t is known the Ger
mans would not respect the neutral Ju.
piter any more than she respected the
neutral Henrik. And aboard the Jupi
ter are several coul'icrs-English
French and Russian. Also several high
officials belonging to those nationals
ties.
Norwcgians feel strongly over the
ltOrpedoing of their ships. The waters
around Norway are alive with subs and
since the start of the war the practice
of blowing up Norwegian ships ha;
grown rapidly. In all some Is per cent
of the entire shipping of Norway has
been accounted for in this way

be as far north as the waters about
Arcangel. The Norwegian "Shipping
Gazette commenting on the torpedo
ing of Norwegian steamers said
"There is no doubt that the com
manders of the submarine have special
orders to destroy Norwegian ships
Two months ago we received hint
from n well informed quarter that Ger
MANY intended to wage a reckless sub
marine campaign against the Norwe
gian mercantile fleet, and few weeks
ago German "crcatures in Norway
openly threatened Norwegian ships
with destruction.
These things have stirred the coun
try more than anything since the com
mencemcnt of the war.

one of Germany S ablest strategists--
the ablcst, according to some critics.
Until recently he was chief of the

turned the Roumanian invasion Of Tran

vadcrs out of most of the territory oc-
cI~ied by them, but more recent re-

IRISH AT TIE 'FRONT.'

The clash between Dublin civilians
and British soldiers cannot be said
properly to illustrate the spirit OF
all gallant sons OF Erin. The Irish
regiments in France represent 81
battalions of foot soldiers, in addi-
ton to hussars, Ian GERS, dragons
and yeomanry horse. There are tens
of thousands of Irish in the artillery,
the medical corps, the engineers, the
royal navy and in English, Welsh and
Scottish regiments.
The war has brought into view
the military qualities of the Irish.
II has done more, it has proved
them to be the PRIMER soldier OF
this war. Her own interest is usu-
ally the last thing to move Ireland,
generous people that the sons of
Erin are. We quote John Redmon:
What stands out is that on every
front the work of the Irish soldiers
has been not only of great merit
in every instance, but Of exceptional
merit. and they have to their credit
some of the most splendid and as
tonishing achievements"
We could enumerate to the extent
OF multiplicy the daring exploits.
not of individual Irishmen but OF
entire commands. The Irish Guard
at Mons; the Royal Irish Regiment
at Ypres: the London Irish at Loos;
the Irish division which saved the
allies on retreat from Serbia; the
brilliant feats on Gallipoli. Climb
ing into hell on an aeroplane seemed
an easier proposition"
The Irish have won their place in
the center of the picture. For loyal
ty. courage and fidelity they have
been unexcelled in this war which
has mothered so much of heroism.-
