City urfitfial Paper
NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 30, 1915
Hello, Central, Uinime ilars"—o.
Venus or actum or any one of th<
sevviul other planets forming our sys
tem—is by no means an improbabil
ity of the future if tne recent prophecj
of the w urid famous electrical inven
tor Nikola Te-ia. amounts to anything
iiiat the future cf tne transmission
.f tne human voice will nut be con
unea to this planet but will be pro
jected thiougii the ether until its vi
olations stiiKe all tlie other planets
that swing through their orbits in tlu
lar oft reaches of space, Is the some
what startling intimation of the cele
success of the recent experiments in
which the sound of human voice was
transmitted across the Atlantic ana
also across the entire North American
continent and so far out into the
reaches of the Pacific that a conver
sation between Arlington station and
Paris was easily heard In Honolulu.
"This in itself,'* sad Tesla, “was, of
course, a very brilliant experiment,
and the Inventors are entitled to a
great credit, but, believe me when I
say It is only the beginning. Very soon
it will be possible for U3 to see each
other at distances of thousands of
n.iles; we shall be able to hear an
opera, sermon or scientific lecture and
also be visually present in all kinds
of meetings and transactions wherever
they may be taking place and without
regard to the place where we our
selves happen to be at that time.*'
While all this may seem like the pur
est rubbish to many, It must be taken
into account that the prediction has
received a partial verification already.
The human voice has already been
projected without physical connection
over a distance that would have been
considered impossible ten or even five
years ago. Impelled by the same won
derful electrical Impulse which made
possible the time and space annihil
ating wonders of the telegraph and
teiepnone, words uttered by human
tengues have been wafted through the
ether for distances equal to nearly one
fourth of the circumference of the
globe, hence it should not be difficult |
to realize that only the Increase or
extension of the Initial impulse Is re- j
quirod to double or treble the distance
and If sufficient power is applied j
there is practically no limit to which
the human voice might be hurled. Al
though much has already been achiev
ed In this direction It must also be
remembered, as the great Inventor
suggests, that the experiments which
have proven so successful are but the
first efforts and are veritably like the
efforts of a child which has success
fully negotiated a Journey across Its
nursery—it has been successful but has
by no means learned to walk with firm
and certain tread. From all appear
ances there Is practically no meaaur
ble limit to which the voice might be
projected and we should not be at
all loath to believe that communica
tion with far off planets may be one
of the ordinary things of the not far
distant future—that Is of course if
there are any Intelligent beings exist
ing on those rushing spheres to com
municate with. And that too Is not
impossible
