WIRELESS SEA
SERVICE OPE Ms
Operator Is Now Send
ing Messages by Way
Of Reyes.
Experiments Daily Made to
Insure Certainty Of
Success.

The use of wireless telegraphy for the
purpose of connecting the Farallones and
the mainland of California has actually
begun. There has been no blare of trum-
pets about the matter. The Department or
Agriculture has sent a skilled man to this
State, who has had practice in the East
with wireless telegraphy, and he is now at
Point Reyes, where he is observing the
municating with the Weather Bureau in
this city The original plan was to have
the FaralloneS connected directly with
Point Lobos. For some reason this has
service will be between the Farallones and
Point Reyes. From the latter point in
formation received from North Farallon
Island will be sent to this city by wire.
The observatory building of the Weather
Bureau at Point Reyes is nearly COM
pleted. The roof is not on, but will be
soon. When the station is ready to be
used the wireless telegraphy will begin.
The prospect is that 1t will be used during
part of the present rainy season, and it
may be able to Signally demonstrate its
merits in the next few months. There is
little doubt that the original plan of hav-
Ing wireless communication between the
North FarallOneS and Point LObOS will be
adopted after time.
