Meteors In Fiji.
Natives at Taveuni, Fiji, were terri fied when a meteor fell there on May 29.
Mr. Taylor, headmaster of Vucalevu School, nearby, described it as being about the size of a cricket ball and fiery red, with a yellow corona and a long blue tail. He said that it passed directly over the radio station, and fell into the bush near Wairiki, at an angle of about 60 degrees.
The radio operator, Mr. W. J. Ragg, stated that, although he had not actu ally seen the meteor, he had heard a loud detonation, which severely shook his quarters.
Later, the radio officer in charge of the Labasa station reported that two other fireballs were seen in the Labasa district, one at Vunimoli and the other at Vuo.
