record at the monday meeting at
the Arcade Cafe today in favor OF
the passage of a literacy test quail
fication for all electors at all AL

matter of politics in the common
acceptance of that term. but one
that vitally affected the welfare of
the Territory in all phases of its
activities.
Mr.. Henderson called attention to
the fact that the Alaska Education
Association had discussed the ques-
tion as to whether the subject of a
literacy test for voters was a politi-
cal matter of such a nature that it
ought to be barred from considera-

SEATTLE, April 17.-Lieut. Nor

the United States Smelling. Refn-

properties in Alaska
Lieut.. Shines said "We expect a

three dredges in operation" Lieut..
Stines declared Nome will continue
to develop as a treasure producer
Before the war, Lieut.. Stines was

offered much platinum to the Unit

the idea that electric current might
carry sound, but he did not develop
the thought. In 1860 Johann Philip
Refs, 4 German, actually constructed
an electric telephone, but gave up
the effort, owing to what seemed
insurmountable obstacles to making
it practical.
So it was left to DR.. Bell to pro-
duce the first telephone that really
worked. 1t was exhibited at the
Centennial Exposition at Philadel.
phia in 1876 and caused great ex-
element. But even when people had
heard human voices carried by it
they did not grasp the Idea Of its
importance to the human race. PEG.
pie could not conceive that this 'in-
teresting toy" would come TO be one
Of the biggest factors in the bust
ness and social life Of humanity.
For that Is exactly what 1t is. The
telephone has changed our methods
Of doing business; II has made close
neighbors of people living miles
apart in the lonelier parts Of the
country; it has helped to change the
whole idea of constructing business
buildings, and has had much to do
with the way in which even cities
are built. Business men thousands
of miles apart can now talk over
the terms Of a deal at almost any
time they choose without leaving
their offices.

time with the waves. The disk
forms part of a circuit carrying acur-
rent of electricity. and the electric
current is strengthened and weak
ened by the different vibrations Of
this disk. This sets up electric
waves in the wire that match the
sound waves exactly. In this way
the electric current virtually catches
up the sound waves and bears them
swiftly, almost instantaneously, to
the other end of the wire, no matter
how far that may be. There the
electric waves pass though electro
magnets. The variations in the
electric current cause the magnets
to attract an iron disk with vary
ing strength, and thus make it vi
brate exactly like the transmitting
disk against which you talk.
The last Transformation, of course,
takes place in the receiver of the
telephone at the other end of the
wire. Your friends ear is placed
near this disk and the vibrations
it causes in the air create the sen
sation we know as sound. Carried
to your friends brain by the nerves.
the sounds are there translated into
words, and your friend understands
what you are saying just as If you
stood only few feet from his side.
Your father can remember when
only a few business houses and
stores had telephones and there
were fewer still in private dwellings.
Your grandfather can easily recall
when there were no telephones at
all. 1t was not until 1885 that

ing with sound waves in search of
a method by which deaf children
might be taught to speak, found the
secret Of sending. speech over long
distances by means of electricity.
Just two hours after DIR. Bell filed
his application for a patent in Wash
ington. d. c.. Elisha Gray of Chi
cago. who had been working along
similar lines, filed an application COW
ering some of the same principles.
Since that time the telephone has
been improved by hundreds Of in
ventions. virtually all of which were
made by Americans. Many of these
however, are merely in the nature
Of expansions upon the idea first
worked out by DIR. Bell and Mr.
Gray.
But these two men were not the
first to have an inkling that speech
might be carried over long distances
by electricity. In 1887 Charles G.

Think Of the wonder of an instru-
ment that can pick up your voice
and carry it over a space of a mile,
ten miles, even 5000 miles, so per
fectly reproducing every infection
and tone that your friend at the
other end OF the wire instantly
knows it is your voice. even before
you tell him who is speaking!
How is it done? Before you can
understand that, you must recall
that when you speak your voice sets
up waves in the air, which spread in
every direction, just as faves do in
water when you drop a pebble into
a small pool When you speak into
the transmittter of a telephone,
these sound waves strike against a
disk and set it also to vibrating in
