Item certainly written by Colville, published concurrently with advertising
   TELEGRAPHY AND TELEPHONY. A movement is afoot to inaugurate an institute, having for its object the establishment of closer relations between persons interested in the study of wireless electricity, especially as applied to telegraphy and telephony. Apart from professionals, there are many amateur scientists and students in Queensland who desire to pursue their investigations. Such an institute would, it is contended, be able to obtain many more concessions in the various fields of operation than individual experimenter's could possibly expect to obtain. Lectures and general instruction, on different systems, the designing, making, and working of apparatus at present employed, could be arranged for, and practical instruction in various departments, including the Morse code, would receive prominent attention. An efficient system of correspondence could be established, whereby country members would receive attention practically equal to town members. It is proposed that the institute shall first be opened for theoretical study and Morse code instruction, to be ready for practical demonstrations when the Commonwealth authorities grant permission on the signing of the peace treaty. Some further particulars are advertised.
