Halifax, N. 8 ., Doc. 21.— After eight experiments conducted with the greatest secrecy, Marconi an- rmrivt.-rT» Mint Yiw V»-w» -v»i—»5 Via« problem of wireless trans-oceanic communication, and has successfully transmitted wireless messages from the shores of Canada to the coast of EnglTind. The formal announce ment of this achievement was made by the inventor himself today, when he stated that wireleBB messages had been successfully transmitted nnd forwarded from the Governor- General of Canada to King Edward VII of Great Britain and to the King of Italy. Dr. George R. Park in, principal of Upper Canada Col lege, trustee of the Rhodes scholar ships, was present when one of the successful tests -was made. Prior to December, 1901, the greatest distance covered by wire less telegraph scarcely exceeded 100 miles. Early in that year Mar coni visited Newfoundland, nnd from Signal Hill commenced ex periments with Cornwall, nnd on December 12 and 13 of that year faint signals of the letter “ S,” re peated novernl times, were caught by car only by the aid of telephones. Later on Marconi, on the steam ship Philadelphia, bound for America, succeocod in establish ing communication with Cornwall, a distance of 2100 miles. Trans oceanic messages also were re ceived on board the Italian warship Cario Alberto, while the vessel lny at anchor in Sydney harbor, on October, 31, and since then Mar coni has been perfecting tho ap paratus at Table Head. He met with innumerable difficulties there, but at last, has succeeded in send ing a transoceanic wireless message from Canada to Cornwall, a dis tance of 2300 miles. The Carlo Alberto some days ago was ordered to proceed to Venez uela, bnt, as her immediate de parture would seriously delay Mar coni’s operations, the order was modified, and she was held at Syd ney until trans-Atlantic communica tion was successfully accomplished. She has snilod for Venezuela to take part in the blockade operations. The following message was sent by Marconi this evening: I.osl Boys Come Home In The Morning. Peter Scott, Willie Curtis, Albert Campbell and Georgo Manning, the four boys for whom searching parties UfAV« viva r» pp fchik TiwaoJay night, came in about 9 o’ clock yes terday morning, wet, hungry, tired and bruised but not seriously the worse for their night in the woods. It seems that they started out yesterday forenoon with the inten tion of gettii 3 back about 1 o ’clock. The four boys started home to gether before twelve. They had traveled a round-about way and concluded to take a short cut home. Just where they went is not alto gether clear, but they were still on their home when darkness overtook them. The night was web windy and dark nnd any material progress was impossible even if they had known which way to go. At one time they heard the guns and saw the lights of the searching party, but could not get to them. So they worried through the night as best they could without shelter, food or fire, their matches being wet, and resumed the search for homo at daylight. Probably fifty men were out about half of the night in search of the boys, and quite n number took up tho search again in the morn ing. So the boys wero not the only ones who suffered discomfort from the affair.— Mail. Marshfield Ban. Thomas Blaine and wife were given a warm welcome on their arrival at Allegany from the East last week, by a host of friends. The reception was qaito an elaborate affair. John Blomquist has secured the coutract to build three gasoline launches. They will be for J. B. Devis, E. J. Coffelt and Stephen Rogers. The length o f the bonts will range between 27 and 30 feet and the beam between 6 nnd 8 feet. The cold storage ship Elihu Thompson reached here Tuesday from Tacoma aod is now dooked at the railroad wharf. Fish is being received at the ice plaut at the rate of a ton a day, bnt the amount it is expected will be increased. The Thompson can carry 300 tons of frozen goods. J.

Clark, the found er of the Christian Endeavor move ment, is sending oirculnrs to the state officers asking them to take part in a groat forward movement for 1903. An effort is to be made to increai, the number of societies in tho state by ten per cent., nnd to add ten per oent to the roll of each society. The state making tho re quired increas will be presented with a banner at the International Convention in Denver, nnd tho successful societies will be -placed on the roll of honor. There are no restrictions: Mem bers may be aotive, associate or hon orary; and the gnch *>s, senior, in termediate or junior. Each dis trict will be assigned its share of tho work. The plan, as announced, is to make the last week of January "In- creas Week,” when the strongest effort is to be made. The first Sun day in February, “Endeavor’s Birthday,” will be “ Decision Day” a day for adding now members. With a definite object, a ten per cent, increase, and a definite time, from January first to the Denver Convention in June, Oregon will doubtless claim a banner for state work, and many societies be on the roll of honor.
