METEOR FIREWORKS
OUICLhSSED The
FOURTH Of July

Hundreds of WyandOtte residents
who saw the flaming meteor that pass
ed over Wyandotte, at :51 o'clock
Tuesday night, declared that 1t out
classed in briHiance any Fourth Of
July display ever staged.
The comment Of one Third street
citizen Is typical.
Il was sitting on the lawn, when
suddenly the entire sky was brilliantly
Illuminated. st Patrick school building,
nearby, was bathed in intense light. At
first l thought it was a lightning
stroke, although the light was more
intense than any lightning / ever saw.
When there was not an almost i'm
mediate peal of thunder, l decided that
1t was. not lightning at all. In about
five minutes, l should say, there was
booming sound like the report of a
distant cannon"
Scores OF visitors to the city park,
with their clearer view Of the skies
were in front seat position to wit
ness the unusual event. The meteOr's
Light came just as the last rays Of the
sun were disappearing on the distant
horizon.
The general direction Of the meteor
was from west to east with a sOuther-
ly trend
One Detroit amateur has figured out
to fractions of mile just how far the
heavenly meteor went before dropping
into Lake Erie.
