Making the Sea Safe

The approach of storms at sea ia
now reported with surprising ac-
curacy by means of wireless clectri-
city An ingenious device makes It
possible to pick up news of their ap-
proach long before local conditions
are affected. 1t is not only possible to
learn of the position of storms when
many miles distant but to know tho
direction they are taking. The tests
have been made with great success
at the Naval base at Pensacola,
Florida. 1t is a simple matter to get
news OF the approach of storms over
land, but tho conditions at sea have
been battling. The warning of an
approaching storm can now he wire
lessed to aviators flying at sea and to
ships far from land. Since ships far
out at sea may now be warned Of bad
weather, u new element of safety ~
lent TO all who 20 down to the sea in

New Interest In
Scout Work

At tho county teachers convention
held at the Congress Hotel. Friday.
Scout Executive Alvcrson was given
an opportunity to present Scouting to
become intensely Interested in Scout
ing and several schools arc anxious to
organize troops. and troops will be or
ganized as soon as Scoutmastors can
be found. Three county schools now
have successful troops, one at Avon
dale, one at Pinon and one at Blend.
Tho teachers and school board have
seen tho advantages of scouting al
ready from the conduct of the troop at
Pinon. This speaks well for their
Scoutmaster and assistant and troop
committeeman as well as tho Scouting
program.

WIRELESS COURSE
BEGINS TUESDAY

A course in wireless will begin next
Tuesday evening at 1880 o'clock at
Scout Headquarters This course is
class Scouts. As a special inducement
to Scouts who are first-class. but
who have not yet passed their first

allowed to enter this course, and will
be given a month in which to pass
tho rest of their first class tests. II
they fail to pass all their first class

course is for Scouts who really mean
to learn to send and receive and not
for those who simply wish to work
with wireless instruments. d. NJ
Kendall will be in charge of this
course as well as supervision Of all
wireless work After tho Scoutmast-
ers and assistants and Scouts become
proficient in wireless, they will estab-
lish wireless sets at their Scout head
quarters and then messages Will be
sent 10 and from General Scout Head
quarters. All the other Scouts in
troop will no doubt want to know the
mystery OF the wireless setS, put tniS

from the troop becomes expert at
sending and receiving and until they
have a troop set installed. National
Headquarters sends out messages to
Scout headquarters all over the
United States and 1t will not be long
now until several troops in this city
will he able to receive these messages.
Mr.. Kendall has reported that he has
received messages from countries as
far away as Germany on our set at
Scout headquarters. At summer
camp this summer it Is hoped that we
will have several good operators. who
can keep in constant communication
with Pueblo on tho set which we will
have at camp. All Scout Officials
and Scouts who are nearly first-claHs

AN EAGLE AND A
GOAT IN COMBAT

The writer once witnessed a fght
between a golden eagle and a full
grown mountain goat. This fight took
place on n high divide in the Bull river
country in British Columbia" says
Charles S. Smith in an article in Boys
Life entitled The Rocky Mountain
sheep at Home
Il was stalking tho goat al the time
for the purpose OF taking some photo
graphs as close UP as l could got, and
was working my way cautiously from
rock to rock keeping concealed from
tho goat, who WAS feeding on a little
nat space on the top of tho mountain.
AS / peered around the projecting point
of a crag l saw the goat suddenly
wheel and look toward a small point
rtickirE up on top of tho ridge and
there. coming over the top of the point
was a very large golden eagle, flying
just above the surface OF the ground
and coming directly at the goat. The
goat stood with head lowered and
when tho eaglo camo within about ten
feet of him, Il suddenly swoopcd into
the air about fifteen or twenty feet
high, turned completely over and
dropped like a plummet at the goat /
wondered what tho goat would do, but
evidently ho had i, all figured out for

his hind feet, stood straight up and
slashed his head from side to side. his
horns describing q. circle in tho air

eagle evidently knew better than to
try to drop on n thing of that sort or
to try to seize 1t, SO he caught himself
In his swift descent and volplaned over
the side of the ridge. here over a deep,
dark canyon he circled several times

disappesred over tho shoulder of tho

The Telemegaphone

The human voice may now bo clearly
heard by an audience OF 10000 people.
A. device known as the tclomogaphonc
transmits the words of n speaker so
that they can be easily heard in the
open air for a distance of 500 feet. \
series of telephone receivers are placed
near the speaker pointing towards him
from every angle, so that no matter
whichever way he may turn his voice
is certain to be caught. Tho receivers
in turn are transmitted to points amid
tho audience and thrown out simultan-
oously in five directions. A device sim
