TALKS To MARS
At Least Try Is Being Made
at Omaha.
Invisible Light Wave Being
Used, Says Scientist.

Omaha. April 2O.-An attempt is be-
ing made this week to pick up wire
less signals which the supposed inhab-
itants of Mars are believed by experts
to be sending out to the earth. This
announcement was made today by Dr.
Frederick H. Millener, wireless expert
of this city.
Doctor Millener explained that dur
ing this week the earth and Mars will
be closer together than at any time
during the year and for that reason
the experiment will be conducted now.
In his statement today Doctor Millener
said: "A wireless signal is a form of
an invisible light wave of a definite
rate of vibrations and oscillations.
With the modern means of interpret
ing these definite rates it is not i'm
possible to believe that some rhyth-
metic mathematical signal made by a
light wave or some spectral modifica-
ton of some character might be inter
cepted by means of radio apparatus
upon this earth.
"On account of the very delicacy of
these instruments, SO delicate that
they have been able to interpret a
sound which we have heretofore been
unable to hear, weather conditions,
tmospherics, thunderstorms, and 9TH
er natural phenomena may absolutely
prevent even ordinary long distance
communication from being received
But given fair conditions any sounds
unusual in the United States will be
observed"

Joe Earman, editor of the Palm

friend of hizzonner, the Reverend
Sidney Johnson Cats, governor of
Florida, is in imminent danger of
having his hide perforated with 2S
buckshot, each weighing 1000
pounds. Hizzonner got peeved when
Joe fell out with him and wrote him
up and says that if Joe writes any
more of his double-leaded, capitaliz-
ed, editorials about him or his'n he
will proceed forthwith to West Palm
Beach with his rusty double-barrel-
