METEOR WAS HUNDREDS
OF MILES FROM PENSACOLA

Editor Pensacola Journal
Referring to the articles In The
Journal several days ago relative to
the brilliant meteor which crossed the
heavens about Z o'clock Thursday
night, Sept. 4th, your Mulat CORE
spondent Is not alone in his erroneous
belief that this celestial visitor was
an aeroplane but, fortunately, [ am
able to prove that it's appearance was
deceptive and that nonwi outstanding 1t
appeared TO be within few hundred
yards Of observers in a number of
places In Florida, Alabama and Mis-
sisstppi, in reality, 1t was passing over
the Gulf of Mexico several hundred
miles southwest of Pensacola.
When the meteor passed near the
moon my father in Pensacola noted its
position relative to that OF the moon
and at the same time I, In Brewton,
Ala, also noted IT'S position BY COM
Dining the Information thus obtained
learned that there was only about four
degrees difference IN its direction from
the two points. Knowing the approx
mate distance from this place to Pen
sacola I was enabled to ascertain the
following facts: When nearest Brew
ton It was about $40 miles distant,
about 325 miles above the earth and
travelling between 35 and As miles per
second. After calculating it's distance
took the directions of the points
where 1t came into and passed out Of
my sight and from the triangle formed
by these lines and the line of flight Of
the meteor, and from the fact that
nearly every observer agreed that 1t
remained in sight 80 or 40 seconds, I
was able to ascertain its approximate
speed. Had our observations been
more exact it's distance, etc. could
have been accurately calculated.
Your correspondent will readily see
that no idea Of the meteors speed can
be had without information as TO its
distance from the observer. With the
information was fortunate enough to
get ascertaining this distance was
merely a question of math enatics. I
will admit it's appearance was decep-
tive for most Of the people here
thought 1t passed over Brewton and
in Pensacola it app cared to be over
that city, but IN fact there was very
little difference in It's direction from
the two places.

The Redistricting Law
Not Effective This Time.

Harry Floyd has made two discov-
cries. One consists of the fact that
an error occurred in the enrolling and
printing Of the redistricting act where
by two .'third. districts and no Sec
cnds district was created. The other
Is OF the fact that the act does not be-
come effective until after the expfra-
ton of the terms for which the presene
congressman were elected.
The latter discovery really appears
to be the only important one. and that
is of course very important because II
rleans that the present congressman

again have TO be elected.

fact that the act named two 4'thir6'
