The e4rthcivake that shook nearly all of Eastern Canada and the United States early Friday morning (about 1.05) gave most of the citizens of this district a peculiar feeling. Many did not realize what had takenp .lace until later in the morning while others sensed that earth trernors were taking place. ' The shocks lasted about 15 to 30 seconds according to. those who felt this peculiar vibration and some also. felt a slight shock about 9.30 Satur- day morning. Most of those who felt the tremor reported that their beds rocked and many also told- of dishes rattling•and other peculiar performances. The farmers of the district reported that the hens were touch disturbed by the shocks and created quite a dis- turbance. As far as we were able to find out no damage was done by the quake in this district. The epicentre of the quake was in Eastern Quebec, near Ottawa, where the rails of the railways were twisted and an aperture was formed in the ground. To wake up and find the bed be- ing shaken by an earthquake was a most unusual experience in this dis- trict and those who were wakened wonder how some slept while the tre- mor was doing its stuff. People who were driving cars at the time of the quake report that they did not feel the shock. In Montana on Thursday they had severe shocks which drove the people from the buildings. All -told there they have had 500 tremors ip. a week. So far as Ontario is concerned the scientists say there will be eo im- mediate recurrence of the quake. Appointed Rector Rev.
