By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.
MELBOURNE, August 17.
Giving evidence before the Postal Commission, Dr Graham Bell, of Canada, inventor of the telephone, said ho considered the common battery system was still; the best. There was little chance of it being superseded for at least twenty years. The time was not, in his opinion, ripe yet for an automatic system of telephones. He expected great things from wireless telephony, but it was still in the experimental stage. He attributed four-fifths of the delays iu answering telephone calls to the public themselves.
