A. A. Hein received word on the
last mail to the effect that he had
been awarded a patent, by the United
States Patent Office, on an improve

the same time sets in action the fire
alarms about the building and an
alarm at the fire station. Each hose
is numbered, and when the alarm is
registered at the station a pointer
turns to a corresponding numeral on
a dial and the tire apparatus and men
proceed forthwith.
The invention has been tested in
Seattle and fouml entirely satisfact
ory and is being used by several busi
; ness houses in that city. The ap
paratus as first made in 1911 weigh
ed nearly 6"> pounds whereas the new
and im pro veil apparatus weighs but
