MARCONI SPEAKS
TURNS SYDNEY LIGHTS ON FROM GENOA POWER BY WIRELESS Reed. 11.40 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. The lights at the radio exhibition at the Sydney Town Hall were switched on by means of wireless by Marchese Marconi from the yacht Elettra in Genoa Harbour. The Marchese spoke briefly, congratulating Australia on the first telephonic, communication with Italy. A message from Rome says there was a tense moment in the yacht Elettra’s crowded cabin when Marchese Marconi pressed the telegraph key and awaited the voice from Sydney announcing that the lights' were on at the radio exhibition at the Town Hall. The Marchese’s face was wreathed in smiles. He said the success of the experiment was particularly important, as it pointed to a time when electric power will be transmitted direr through the air in any direction and in any quantity desired.
