From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, Nov. 29.
Torea, the local newspaper published in the Tahitian language under the editorship of M. Francois Herve (lately Administrator of the Tua motu Archipelago), has, in a recent issue, an interesting account of the reception accorded Princess Teriinui-o-Tahiti-a-Po mare at Paris. Accompanied by her niece, Moeterauri-Tetupaia-i-Hauviri, the Prin cess left Papeete for France last Febru ary.
At Paris they were received with great distinction by the President of the Re
public, who entertained them at the Presidential Palace, placed his box at the opera at their disposal, and con ducted them about the city in his own motor car. Ministers of the Government, likewise, showed them every considera tion and listened with interest and sym pathy to the account given by the Prin cess of the state and needs of French Oceania. The Princess and her niece saw the Paris International Exposition in May, and journeyed to London to witness the Coronation.
Miss G. Hardy arrived in Fiji from Sydney in November to be X-ray tech nician at the Suva general hospital.
