It is expected that McAdie will be re- lieved from his arduous duties as chief of the local branch of the Weather Bu- reau and given directions to spend his | entire time and devote the whole of his attention to wireless telegraphy. The professor states that he will not request that he be transferred to duty in the new fleld. He feels, nevertheless, that he could do better work on his proposed improvements if he could give his un- divided attention to them. The men who are interested in what McAdle may further accomplish in the science of wireless telegraphy are anxious that he be temporarily relieved from duty as district forecaster.

Since the thing first began to work the oper- | ators have been. able to see how they could improve the service. Before mes- sages were transmitted first the diffi- éulty was in discovering where the hitch was. The Weather Bureau's cable line got out of order yesterday, and the only means of communication between the inhabitants of the Farallones and the mainland was by means of the wireless telegraph.
