probability that, after all, wireless

1 he chief signal officer of the army
is advised th at the steam er O hio
reached Nome with her cargo tn good
condition. T h e cargo includes equip
m ent for the wireless station at F ort
Gibbons. As the equipm ent for the
Nome station was dam aged by the
flooding of the hold of the boat in
which it was shipped, it was feared
that it would be impossible to install
the Nome station this season, but now
it is believed that the working in stru
m ents can be got to g eth er to establish
the Nome station, and every effort
will be made to do so.
T h e war d epartm ent is highly
pleased with the work done by the
wireless stations. It has ju st received
a report that the station on the F ar-
rallones held com m unication with the
St Louis for 53 hours outside of
