TINAKORI WIRELESS STATION.
1 ‘lt is of some interest to know, ’ ’ said the Prime Minister at Wellington on Saturday night, “that the wireless station that is to be established on the Tinakori Hills will be the most powerful in the world. It is to have what is technically known as five kilowatts.. Originally it was intended to have two. And when the station is there the odds are fifty to one that right round the New Zealand coast connection will be obtainable with ships having the apparatus on board. If anything, therefore, were to happen to ships within a big distance of Wellington, we shall be able, without waiting for messages from other stations, to get into immediate communication with them.’’ (Applause.)
