THE TAEBO TREMORS

ROTORUA, Juno 22

A special reporter visited Wairnkei. Taupe, Oruanui. and Wairuru Valley. Oruanui is almost deserted, and the whole of the working Afaori mill hands have left for Alokni. The earth in Oruanui valley is full at small vertical fissures. Though the country formation is friable pumice agglomerate, an impounding dam is not affected. Shocks in the valley are very severe and are accompanied by alarming sounds. Though'much apprehension is felt, no damage has been done, save that a few bottles and crockery have been broken. The seat of the trouble is felt to be on 1 1,0 Wairakei-Oruanui line. The lake is low through lack of rain and no snow water. The net results. save _ hurt nerves, are merely negligible. .Small, unimportant, subsidences are reported, at tile western arm of the lake. but. nothing of magnitude that would justify the use of the word earthquake.
