Telephone Courtegies.

FOR something over two years the
Skowhegan office and other Offices of
the Maine Telephone Company have
furnished the weather report, daily,
to their rural subscribers. This is
done shortly after eleven O'Clock
each morning. The subscriber on
rural line does not have to make the
inquiry of the central Office but the
central Office calls up line after line
and imparts the information to all
who choose to listen for it. This SER
vice is greatly appreciated by those
to whom 1t is furnished but it is not
thought by the telephone company
that village subscribers, who have
access to the weather report as pub
lished in the morning papers, would
care to have the same system adopt
ed with them. An urban subscriber
may receive the same information
however, by calling for it at the time
above mentioned.
More recently the Skowhegan Ex-
change of the Maine Telephone Com
pany has added to its good offices the
courtesy of advising it's patrons, who
have occasion to meet incoming
trains, as to whether or not they are
to be on time. This last service is
not furnished by the other offices OF
the Maine Company and the infor-
nation is unofficial, but nevertheless
it may be depended upon as accurate.
Those who wish to be informed
daily concerning the arrival of trains
at the Skowhegan station should SO
advise the central and they will be
put on the list to be called up Just
previous to the arrival of each train
The principal use of the telephone
is to permit subscribers to talk with
each other, and we are apt to think
of its possibilities as being limited to
that field. The information with re
gard to trains and the weather re
port as above noted are outside OF
this usual field of usefulness and are
only suggestions of the advantages
future. Experiments have already
been tried in transmitting vocal and
instrumental music of concerts over
the wires to widely separated points
and every mechanical difficulty with
regard to it has been solved 1t only
remains for the telephone companies
to provide trunk lines and other
necessary equipment, which it may
no fhaU
next few years if their subscribers
are found willing to pay the addition
al cost of special service of this kind
1t seems easily possible that among
the two hundred thousand subscriber
in the New England and allied sys-
TENS in Maine and the other New
England States there would be fifty
thousand who would be willing to pay
one dollar several times year for the
privilege of listening with the mem
bers of their household, to the music
of the great festivals, and other similar
events, delivered in their own homes
over the wires from Boston, Bangor
and Portland.
In Austria such Injuries are within
the reach of every telephone sub
scriber and moreover complete
news service, equal 10 daily news
paper, constantly ION tap" is acces
rible in many Austrian cities.
Our telephone people are not doing
their duty or providing for the most
complete development of their bust
ness from commercial standpoint
if they are not already laying plans to
give us some of these telephone lux
urics here in Maine.
