STEAMER TELEPHONES.
A WELCOME INNOVATION. For somo years past in several of tho leading ports in tho world it has been possible to obtain telephone communication with the shore through the ordinary city exchanges , from passenger liners .lying in tho docks, and long ago it was suggested that such a convenience would be greatly .appreciated in Wellington. Arrangements liavo now been made by tho Union, Steam Ship Company to equip tho slot telephones so that either at Lytteltou or 'Wellington communication may bo obtained with the shore without leaving the ship, and the Telegraph Department is about to install two or threo extensions to the berths those vessels usually occupy, and later on to other berths usually occupied bv intercolonial and Home steamers. Tho innovation should bo greatly oppreciated by passengers.
