Of this city to the Review, which shows
that the receipts Of the New Ulm post

At a hearing held in Sleepy Eye by
a representative Of the railroad and
warehouse commission last Tuesday,
evidence was produced showing that
the telephone company OF that place is
operating at a loss to the stockholders:
as no dividends have been paid and
the company has no sinking fund with
which to meet increased salaries. No
protest was entered against allowing
The telephone company to increase its
rates and it is practically foregone
conclusion that it will be allowed to do

HEARS CONCERTS
OVER WIRELESS
ERNST SPERLING. LISTENS TO
MUSIC PRODUCED IN
r 27 MASSACHUSETTS,
ToNAL QUALITY AS GOOD AS
IF RENDERED IN SAME
ROOM HE SAYS

Listening to a high class phono-
graph concert being rendered In far
off Massachusetts while comfortably
seated in your New Ulm home is
one of the Joys of life not accorded
to all of our citizens, but one OF our
,well-lsnown. young men enjoys this
entertainment frequently, sometimes
twice and three times a week. This
Young man is Ernst Sporting, son Of
Prof. and Mrs. J. E, Sporting, who
has a modernly and completely
equipped wireless telegraph apparatus
installed in the home Of his parents
on South Jefferson street.
Special Apparatus Needed.
A special apparatus, known as the
audion receiving set, is necessary to
receive music by wireless. This ap-
paratus is more sensitive and OF a
better grade than the regular Wire
less receiving instrument. There IS
very little electrical energy Used IN
transmitting music waves by WIRE ,
ess, so that the detector must be
unusually sensitive, or the other tones
vii! not be clear. Another important
factor in the transmission OF music
via wireless is the prevailing weather
conditions. If the air is clear and
quiet, with no perceptible wind, the
music is much more audible and
there is no rising or falling OF the
tone. During wind that is strong
enough to sway the anenna the
music sounds as if it were being
played on photograph, the modul-
tor of which is being changed con-
stantly.
News Every Night.
Mr.. Sporting spends a considerable
part of his spare time evenings at
his wireless instrument and receives
m any messages containing accounts
of important happenings not only
in this country but abroad also. One
Of the principal sources Of this in
form alton is the big wireless station
on Arlington Heights, near Washing
ton, D. c., from which such; messages
are sent out every evening. He also
receives messages from commercial
stations in every section OF the
United States, the most distant one
being located in Alaska.
1 Connect" With Europe.
Mr.. sperling is at present working
on a large receiving set, which, wher
completed, will enable him to ge1
wireless messages direct from Europe
thus charging the scope OF his wire
less work. Quite a number Of in
terested New Ulmites have visited
the Sperling home to view the younl
mans wireless apparatus and. hav'
him explain its workings.
