DEMONSTRATION OF
THE HELIOGRAPH

At o'clock on every afternoon of
this week, the forest service will give
demonstration of the heliograph.
One ranger will set up his instruments
on "Camers Back" at the north end
of town, and another will set up in
front of the grand stand at the fair
grounds.
These instruments are used to send
messages during fire season They
consist of mirrors with attachments for
sighting and focusing the reflection of
the sun onto the receiving station In
front of the mirror is a shutter which
regulates the length of the flash,
thereby making dots and dashes The
international code is used in transmit
ing messages.
These instruments can be examined
closely at the forest service booth In
this booth are numerous exhibits of the
forest service activities. Forest Off
cers are present all the time to ex-
plain and answer questions. The pub
lie is welcome.
