SOME THINGS WIRELESS TELE-
PHONY WILL DO.

There is no better source to learn
about what wireless telephony will
do. or at least likely to do, then
from one of the men who has done
much to bring it to its present mar
yelous development, DR.. Peter
Cooper Hewitt is that man. His
work has contributed materially to
the successful demonstration of a
few days ago in which the human
voice was transmitted not only in
telhgibly but clearly from the Ar
lington station in Virginia to Homo
lulu.
Or. Cooper predicts that wireless
telephony will serve to supplement
the work OF established wire lines be-
tween rural communities. That is to
say. by means of wireless, subscrib-
ers living along rural telephone lines
will be able to communicate With
their neighbors across country, where
the sparsity of the population will
not warrant the construction and
maintenance of wire lines. He also
states that wireless may be operated
where there is power available inde-
pendent of wire telephony, as for in
stance the power necessary for the
lighting of an ordinary incandescent
bulb. That power, he maintains, will
be sufficient to operate the family
wireless for a distance of twenty
miles in any direction.
According to the same authority
wireless is likely to play an impoi,
tant and economical part in the ex
tension of wire lines where rivers are
to be crossed and there are nc
bridges. Transmission is such case
is now accomplished by means of sub
merged cables, but we are told thai
the necessity for this will be finall!
obviated by the use of wireless.
Concerning wireless over seas, it Is
the opinion of this authority that the
expense will prevent general use; but
we have the right to assume thai
following the history of great discov
cries and inventions in applied sci
ence, wireless telephony will ulti
mately mean the establishment O
news gathering stations at every port
and the extended use of the same
invention as between moving vessels
and as between the traveller at set
and friends and business associates
ashore.
Concerning the employment o
wireless on moving trains, while sucl
service has as yet been installed il
| but few instances, scientists and in
ventors can see final adjustments t.
be worked out that will make it 0
great value in the operation of trains
With wireless telephony, for example
the weather will never put the wire
out of commission. The factor 0
certain and reliable operation will b
realized, and this in itself is to b
taken as an assurance of high eff
cheney in whatever field wireless
employed. Portland Evening Tele

A New Garage

The City Garage Company has
been organized with C. R. Strain,
r. C. Clark and M. l.. Jacob as
incorporators. The lot on the
corner Of Spring and Magazine
streets has been secured and
work has been commenced on
the erection of a mammoth gar
age the full size of the lot, Cox
100 feet. The walls will be Is
inches thick, which will be of
sufficient strength to hold a
second story if it is found neces-
sary for the accommodation of
the business later.
The automobile business in
Tupelo has grown to such pro-
portions that it is necessary to
have a large and well equipped
garage to take care of it, and
this move is one in the right
direction, as it will keep work in
Tupelo that would otherwise
have to be sent away. The in
vestment will very likely be q
paying one from the start. and
the equipment will be added to
from time to time as occasion
requires.
