Japan Advertiser, November ID
The experimental exchange of wireless
kilograms between Japan, Hawaii and
America, which was set for December
Is, was to be commenced today as a
result of the inspection of the San
Francisco wireless station by Mr.. Tori
gaia, engineer of the Japanese eommu-
nieations department now in America,
who sent a wireless message to the
Toxic authorities, through the T. K
K. steamer Nippon Maru, on the 18th
inst, changing the date of opening ex-
periments The distance between Japan
and Hawaii is 5000 miles, and that be
tween Hawaii and American is 1000
miles The connection of Hawaii and
America by wireless telegraphy has al
ready been effected, and in the event
of experimental communication be-
tween Japan and Hawaii being sue
cessful, the Pacific may be spanned by
wireless telegraphy, via Hawai-. Inc
\. Y K. American liner Akl Maru,
on recent voyage, satisfactorily com
municated with Otsaishi wireless station
in the HGkkaidc at a distance of 1850
miles In consideration of this record
communication which was carried cut
with the electric motive power of the
wireless office on the steamer. not ex-
ceeding three kilowatts, the present
experiments may perhaps prove more
successful than generally expected.
For one week from today messages are
to he exchanged between Japan (the
Choshi and Otsuishi stationsl and San
Francisco; and the Hawaii station will
also take part in experimental commu-
nication. which takes place at night.
