Stanford Graduate Operates It for Distance of Nearly a Mile
[Special Dispatch to "The Examiner."] PALO ALTO, August 29. A
little square house with an aerial string of wires similar to
those used in wireless telegraphy was the only external evidence
of a telephone plant. The schedule was made out to talk upon and
two assistants took a couple of coils, three or four Leyden jars
and the transmitter under their arms and went to the
transmission depot, three- The test was made for space of five
minutes each and five minutes rest between each. During the
second period the man who was sending apparently got tired of
talking and commenced to sing. The songs were heard as clearly
as if they had been sung in the next room. Every once in a while
the government wireless telegraph messages would be caught, but
at one time both the wireless telegraph and the wireless
telephone were in operation at the same moment and they did not
interfere with each other. San Francisco, August 30, 1908
