Maxine the Sea Safe.

The approach of storms at sea is
now reported with surprising accu-
racy by means of wireless electricity
An ingenious device makes it possible
to pick up news of their approach long
before local conditions are effected. Ii
is not only possible to learn Of the
position of storms when many miles
distant, but to know the direction
they are taking. The tests have been
made with great success at the Naval
base at Pensacola. Florida. II is a
simple matter to get news of the ap-
proach of storms over land, but the
conditions at sea have been battling.
The warning of an approaching storm
can now be wirelessed to aviators fly
ing at sea and to ships far from land.
Since ships far out at sea may now be
warned of bad weather. a new ele-
ment of safety is lent to all who go
down to the sea in ships-Boys' Life
