ELUSIVE TARGET
• NAVAL GUNNERY PRACTICE SHIR CONTROLLED BY WIRELESS. Prost Asiociation—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 8. (Received November 9, at 12.5 p.m.) Numerous Australians, who are attached to the Atlantic Fleet for the purposes of gunnery training, will next week be shooting at an uncanny and elusive old battleship, the Centurion, which will be a target ship without a soul aboard. She is installed with a new perfect apparatus to which the controlling destroyer will send a wireless ray, in obedience to which the Centurion will deviate, turn, speed up, or slow down, in such a way as to keep the gunners busy.
