34TH YEAR; NO. 34,
Instructive Address on
"Wireless Telegraph y, "
Mr. J. A, Taylor, B. A., Priucipal of
Wingham :
a
t School, fa
vored the
Epworth League on Monday, evening
with a most interesting and instruc-
tive address on "Wireless Telegraphy."
Mr. Taylor brought apparatus with
him and illustrated terrestrial tele-
graphy, showing the various modifica-
tions of this convenience. After all,
the modifications of terrestrial tele-
graphy, to form the wireless system,
were comparatively slight. The spea-
ker showed how the etheric oscilla-
tions were produced and collected by
the cohere', at a distant station, and
then utilized in running the relay.
Mr, Taylor then discussed the impe-
diments to the operators of wireless
telegraphy, which are-
1—The rotundity of the earth, as the
oscillations travel in straight lines.
2—The diversity of the landscape re-
duces potency of vibration one-half.
41—ofo
the paasssage of the osc llationsy weaher is more suitle ;Isun-
light is disadvantageous.
4 -Oscillations are more easily collect-
ed on Iow land than on high ground.
5—Electrical disturbances seriously in-
terfere with the oscillations, so does
lightning and radiant energy.
6—Swaying of poles is a serious hin-
drance.
But Marconi states that if we could
secure terminals 30,000 feet high, and
100,000 voltage, all these impediments
could be overcome, and no doubt in
time they will.
The speaker then referred to the
discoveries of the past, commencing
with steam ; later, those of the 19th
century—bicycle, antiseptics, anesthe-
tics, automobile, telephone, incandes-
cent and arc lights, motors, dynemo,
spectrum analysis, wireless telegraphy
and X rays. These were valuable in
themselves, but the greater value lay
in the possibilities to which they led.
For instance, X rays may yet, prove
an inestimable boon, as the cure for
what are now known as incurable
diseases.
Mr. Taylor then outlined the bene-
fts and possibilities ; among them the
following':-
1—No loss of time ; a cable message
may take a day to repeat, etc. ; wire-
less telegraphy instantaneous.
2—Small cost; ordinary telegraph line
costs $100 a mile ; a cable line, $1,000
a mile ; wireless, only a few dollars,
3—Marconi claims that with a balloon
seven miles above Niagara, and an-
other seven miles above Paris, power
and light sufficient for the world
could he transmitted from the Falls
of Niagara.
4—It would be a harbinger of peace;
as there could be no secrecy as to
the position of an array or fleet.

The congregations of Auburn and
Smith's Hill had a joint meeting on
Thursday to arrange for the filling of
the vacancy in the pastorate when
Mr. Small takes charge of Blyth.
The name of Rev. J. A. Hamilton,
formerly of Londesboro', and at pre-
sent stationed in Essex, was highly
spoken of. The feeling expressed by
the meeting was in favor of giving
Mr. Hamilton a call at once.
Rev. D. N. McCamus of was in ast.
f
lwas
the speaker for the day. In the
morning his remarks were addressed
our chiefly to the pupils of the school,
t
,t
who with the adult Bible class oc-
cupied the centre seats. The passage
ace, chosen was "Keep thy foot when
so o thou goest into the house of God"—
LiEec. 5:1. In the afternoon, another
s it interesting service was held in the
ent auditorium. In the evening Mr. Mc-
Camus preached a very practical ser-
eia mon from Luke 1: 00— "What manner
est- of child shall this be," showing that
the character of the individual de -
ted pended largely upon the influences
of brought to bear upon hire during his
in- earlier years.
Terrible Sufferings.
How thankful Canadians should be
that the horrors of famine do not visit
their fair land ! The suffering and
death roll in Chinese provinces in-
crease daily, and the worst is not yet
passed. Whole families have been
found dead in their houses, and
corpses are seen lying by the roadside.
Probably 5,000 persons are dying daily
from starvation. Newly -made graves
have been rifled of the bodies, and
parents are exchanging their children
to be eaten. A dollar, the relief com-
mittee reports, will save one life until
the harvest, June 25, and $10,000,000
is needed. The whole amount cannot
be raised in China. The situation is
desperate, and Americans are urged to
give $3,000,000 in the next three
weeks, not for Christian but for
humanitarian work.
Winter Lingers.
On Sunday last, a blizzard was re-
ported covering the western States.
Green Bay, "Wisconsin, had ten inches

gathering in the lecture -room of the
church on Thursday evening. A solo
by Mr. Rave, and an instrumental
duet by Mrs. Hontuth and Miss Spar -

promptu speeches by a number of the
members of the class. Refreshments
were then served, thus closing an
evening, 'which all agreed had been
pleasantly spent.

Sermon On Decision.
On Sunday evening, Rev, T. S.
Boyle completed a series of addresses
to young men, choosing as his text :
1 Kings, 18:21 ---"How Iong halt ye
between two opinions ?" Re said that
alike in the history of nations and in
personal lives there were great crises,
when destiny hung upon the choice.
In the world of politics, business and
other secular affairs, the successful
men were those who unite resolution
with good judgment. Vacillation and
delay spell failure. In spiritual things
the need of decision was still more
urgent, for greater issues hung upon
it. It was a choice between God or
no God ; between Christ and infidelity.
The speaker said he had already used
the argument and logic of Christiani-
ty to bear on this mighty choice.
Now it must be direct appeal. It was
a choice again between righteousness
and unrighteousness, truth and false-
hood, vice and virtue. Why did men
hesitate ? Because sometimes they
thought Christianity too feminine?
This was one of its glories, in that it
showed men's best strength to be in
chivalry and purity. Sometimes
Christ was misunderstood. The real
Christ was all attractive, true and
brotherly, and democratic. More
often men wavered through lack of
will and Iack of self-control, through
fear of ridicule ; ridicule from those
whose opinion was worth less than
nothing. Christianity truly inter-
preted, was the manliest thing. The
best and greatest men in history were
avowedly Christian men ; leaders,
statesmen and warriors though they
were, Men did not decide because
they did not foresee the result, the
folly and degradation to which their
weakness might bring them. In con-
clusion, they were urged to decide
courageously; not to renounce life
and its claims, but to consecrate it
wholly to what was honorable and
true; to rise above the world's opinion
or its mocking, and to take their
stand for God and Christ and right.
May Change Date.
It has been proposed in the Ontario
Legislature to change the date of
holding the municipal elections in On-
tario. It is thought that it would be
an improvement Pioveme to have the elections
held on the first Monday of December.
Most of the elections are now held on
the first Monday in January, but it is
conceded that the holiday season in-
terferes too much with the elections
and the incidental campaigning. The
matter will be placed before the muni-
cipal Councils of the province, who
will be asked to vote for their prefer-
ence for the first or second Monday in
December, with nominations ons ott the
Monday preceding either day.

Those interested in Canada's Nation-

Council room, on Monday evening
next, at 8 o'clock. Wingham had a
good team last year, and through they
failed to win the championship, they
played well. Unfortunately, they
were not well supported, and many of
the players had to go down deep into
their own pockets. They expect to
organize on Monday evening, and
hope the citizens will patronize their
games.

Cheaper School Books.
The Ontario Legislature may pro-
rogue towards the end of this week, or
early next week. It is likely an im-
portant announcement will be made
before the session is .over as to
cheaper text books in public schools.
Nothing has been said as yet, since
the report of the text book commis-
sion, but it is understood the Govern-
ment has been quietly working out a
scheme by which the present prices
will be materially reduced. This
would be very acceptable, especially,
as in these days, the number of books
required by an ordinary family is by
no means small. It is also intimated
that the Legislature may vote a
gratuity to the widow of the late
Speaker, Hon. J. W. St. John.
Preparing To Build.
John Wilson, V. S., is preparing to
build his block on Main street. The
frame building, lately occupied by Mr.
Hewitt', was moved from the place
where it had been for so many years,
and by Monday night had been moved
as far as the corner of Patrick street.
An amusing incident occurred just
about six p.m, on Monday. Two of
our respected citizens were induced to
go up on the roof to hold up the tele-
phone and electric light wires, while
the building was moved under them.
They waited patiently for the building
to move, but after a while discovered
that the men had unhitched the horse
and gone home to supper, having care-
fully removed -the ladder. A friend
passing replaced the ladder, and those
on the roof lost no time in descending.
As we close our forms, the building
referred to has been moved safely as
far as

Gone Forever.
Ten years ago a. farmer put his
initials on a dollar bill. The next day
he went to the nearest town and spent
it with a merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back. Four
times in six years the dollar came
back to him for produce and three
times he heard of it in the pocket of
his neighbors. The last time he got it
back was four years ago. He sent it
to a mail order house. He never has
seen that dollar since, and never will.
That dollar bill will never pay any
more school or road tax for him, will
never build or brighten any of the
homes of the community. He sent it
entirely out of the circle of usefulness
tohimself i
nu sel
f and his neighbors. Patron

Married In The West.
The Medicine Hat News gives the
following :—"A quiet wedding was
solemnized by the Rev, Mr. Bryant

and the bride wore a dress of cream
silk colienne over tanraline silk, trim-
ined with cream satin and embroider-

mony, a dainty breakfast was served,
after which the bride retired to don
her travelling costume -ea smart
tailor-made navy blue ladies' cloth,
with waist of point d'esprit net over
taffeta, and bat to match. The young

Palmistry And Phrenology.
The editor of this paper, when a
young man, devoted some time to the
study of phrenology, and hence has
always been a believer in that science,
knowing that traits of character can
be accurately determined by the de-
velopment or non -development of the
organs of the brains. But we must
confess we were rather sceptical as to
palmistry, until we were invited to
visit Prof. O'Brien's rooms, and allow-
ed to examine his charts, and listen
to his scientific explanations, He
made it clear that the thought forces
conveyed through the nerves to the
hands, do delineate character, and he
quotes passages of scripture by the
dozen in support of his favorite sci-
ence, Prof. O'Brien does not appear
to us as a mere peregrinating fortune-
teller, for he does not profess to tell
fortunes. He does claim, however, to
be able, from head and hand, to de-
lineate character perfectly, to give
suggestions how best to succeed and
what is best to avoid. He appears to
be able to make good his claims in
this respect. His hints as to health
are often timely, and his suggestions
as to the future, when acted upon,
have resulted as he has predicted. Of
this he has ample proof. Already, he
has had a large number of callers,
