THE MARCONI SYSTEM OF NEWS
BULLETINS.
How the People of the Other Islands
are Kept in Touch With What is
Going on in Honolulu

People on the other islands are get
ting the benefit of wireless telegrapny
in a series of public bulletins sent out
by the company from Honolulu. three
or four times a week. These bulletins
are posted at every telephone exchange
on Maui and Hawaii. From Honolulu
they are sent to Matthews, the opera
tor on Molokai who sends them to
| Hegemann the operator on Lanai who
sends them to Lahaina and also to e.
a. Irish the operator at Mahukona.
From Lahalna bulletins are distributed
over Maui, and from Mahukona over
Hawaii. They thus become available to
the public for whom they are intend
ed through every telephone on the re-
spective islands and through bulletin
boards which on Hawaii are at MANU-
kona, Honokaa and Hilo.
This service is very much appreciat-
ed by the people of the other islands
as ii keeps them in touch with the
capital in a way they have never been
before. During the late period, of SEN
sational activity growing out of the
grand jury and the circuit court pro-
Ceedings the intensest interest was felt
all over Maui and Hawaii, and these
wireless bulletins were eagerly looked
for. The good intentions and public
spirit of che wireless telegraph COM
pany would have been better carried
out and more news i'm the same num-
Der of words have been given, if the
bulletins had been more carefully and
inteligently written. However the bull
letins gave some idea of what was go
ing on and people awaited with in
creased interest the weekly mail and
the daily and semi-weekly Star to find
out what was going on in the capital
city.
