ON THE HILL-TOP.
NEW WIRELESS STATION HEARS FIJI. . . The Etako wireless station, which will t:e ready to talk to the world next month, lias already been eavesdropping, and has beavil mossages from afar. On Sunday last tho operators interested in Hm new station fixed up a makeshift aerial, stretching tho wires fyom tho top of the. ytnnding mast to the/derrick that is being used in connection with the erection of the other mast. They . conducted a leading wire down to tho instrument m the operating room, and before very long picked up messages from tho station at Fiji, and also somt" that we-ro being sent by the new flagship Drake, on her way from tho Fiji group io Auckland. The messages were beautifully clear and cite. tinct, and every "note" could bo detectel with ease, which seems to nugur vrsll for the success of the Tiiukcri Hills as a *ite. for a wiroles? station. So. for no messages can bo eorit fronj the Etako station, as the .plnnt is not quite ready, and the proper aerials are not erected.' The tower cf the second big mast is now in position, aful as soon as the weather permils the topmast ami top-gallant mast which are telescoped in the tower will lx> hoisted into position, and the aerials will Ire stretched.
