Voting by Telegraph Could Reshape Lawmaking
The article outlines a system where German Reichstag members vote by telegraph using seat buttons for yes or no. Results would appear at a circular table showing individual votes and tallies instantly, with a stock‑ticker like slip issued for each member. A half‑minute count is predicted. A domestic note reports a cat cremation incident in a dawn kitchen oven, with the remains weighed at thirteen and three quarters ounces.
