one can think of the thing in terms of an
officer having a motion picture camera and
taking a film and having that instantly trans-
ported and having it shown as a motion pic-
ture. As far as we can see, this would not
prove of enough value to justify the distri-
bution and installation of a large amount of
expensive equipment to make this possible.
On the other hand, facsimile apparatus can
transmit pictures over any radio transmitter
and there is no more limit to distance than
there is to any good radio transmission.”

FREAK DEATHS TAKE TOLL
IN 1937

THERE WERE 326 fatalities reported to
the Provincial Police in 1937. Of this num-
ber, 94 were drowned, 64 killed in logging
accidents, 29 in mines and 33 in automobile
wrecks. Of the automobile fatalities, refer-
ence is only made to those reported to the
B. C. Police and the figure does not include
fatal car accidents in Vancouver and other
organized cities.

The remaining fatal accidents under the
heading of miscellaneous causes unfold some
strange stories of how suddenly and unex-
pectedly death can strike. Looking through
the records we come across the case of a
man who drank gasoline in mistake for
water and another who drank poison instead
of liquor, while a third ate poisonous fungus
in mistake for mushrooms. Falls caused
many deaths, including falls from a bicycle,
a load of hay, a cliff, a ladder, a wagon, a
steel column; falls down stairs, down a
hatchway and into a pit. Three persons
were buried alive and killed instantly, one
in a snowslide, one in a fall of rock and an-
other in a gravel slide. Twenty-eight per-
sons were struck by trains. One man lost
his life when struck by a load slung out
from a ship; a portion of broken wood
pulley block accounted for another, and a
third was instantly killed by a blow from a
sawmill flywheel. Explosives caused several
fatal accidents, the most tragic being the
case of a high school boy experimenting with
chemicals. There was the usual quota of
accidentally discharged rifles, shotguns and
pistols. Animals were responsible for three
lives. A horse killed a child, a mad bull
gored a man, a third man died of injuries
received when dragged by the tethering rope
attached to a frightened cow. Fire ac-
counted for two deaths and the unexpected
collapse of a building killed two more. Rec-
reation and sport took their toll. One youth
was killed when he dived into shallow water
and another while ski-ing struck a stump,
causing fatal brain injury. The record of
tragedies involved all ages and sexes, from
a child who was smothered in a crib and
four little Indian boys who froze to death,
to the elderly lady who fell from her bicycle.
