DIVORCE BY WIRELESS.

The latest use for wireless messages iu America is to secure divorce, and San Francisco Courts have set the example by granting the appeal of Airs Marie King for the dissolution of her marriage with a millionaire Californian oil man. Mrs King, who is herself a very wealthy woman, and the heiress to largo estates on the Pacific Coast, is at present in Honolulu, and immediately on receiving news of the Court’s decision she married a man whose name is withheld. Mrs King sued for divorce some little time ago, and having placed her lawyers in full possession of the facts of the case she sailed for the Far East. While in Honolulu she met the man who is now her second husband, and desiring to marry him without delay she instructed hei lawyers by wireless to expedite her case and secure the decree at once. Although the Californian Courts had not reckoned on wireless divorces, her case was so strong that no objection was raised by the judges, and the decree was made absolute as requeued.
