     "SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE

     "We have received the following from  a  rural  correspondent:--'The
shock of an earthquake was felt on Thorne's Creek, three  miles  east  of
Fort Langley, on Sunday the 28th of Feb. last at 7 1/2, in  the  evening.  It
was accompanied by a hoarse thundering rumble, and lasted for about
thirty seconds.  The sky was at the time clear and brilliant and the
atmosphere calm and mild. So frightful was the  commotion  of  its  quick
and awful rockings as to make it a moment of great suspense as to whether
the beholder would be buried with the log shanty,  which  cracked,  rolled
and tottered around him, in a conglomerated mass  of  hetrogenious  ruin.
Its course was across the Creek, from north to south.--Ib'

     "(Query.  Has Artemus Ward strayed up to the neighborhood of Thorne's
Creek?--Ed. ) "

     "PHENOMENA ON SUNDAY EVENING

     "Between 7 and 7:30 o'clock on Sunday evening there occurred a
remarkable stillness in the air and an oppressive,  heated  condition  of
the atmosphere which forbade the slighest suspicion of frost.  Worshippers
at the churches felt the air grow oppressively warm and not  a  few  laid
aside their wrappers and overcoats. This  'heated  term'  continued  until
7:35 o'clock when a veritable earthquake shook the city.  The shock came
with a rush and a sweep similar to that of a  heavy  gust  of  wind.  The
buildings vibrated slightly and gas-burners moved rapidly  from  side  to
side, lights flickered and flared for a few seconds, and then everything
settled back to a state of accustomed steadiness. -In a  few  moments  the
atmosphere grew as suddenly cool as it had before  become  warm,  and  by
8:15 o'clock a cold current of air was flowing from the Northwest."

Victoria   Daily   Colonist,   Victoria,   B.C.,   September   23,    1877

     "Westminster and Nanaimo papers report a slight  earthquake  at  15
minutes to 11 o'clock Wednesday night which rattled  doors,  windows  and
crockery. The shock, if felt at  all,  was  scarcely  perceptible  here."

Victoria Daily Colonist, Victoria, B.C., April 5, 1877

     "At about 4 o'clock yesterday morning a slight tremor of Mother
Earth was felt by several persons who happened to be out of  bed  at  the
time.  But the motion was so slight as to cause some doubt as to its
real character.  At 22 minutes to six o'clock-one hour and 38 minutes
later on-there was a violent and unmistakable disturbance of the sublunary
sphere.  The shock seemed to travel from east to west.  -It was accompanied
by a loud rolling sound as if of a heavy cart being driven rapidly
through the streets, and ended with a bang! like the report  of  a  cannon
fired a mile or two away.  The force of the shock and accompanying noise
and clatter woke nearly everyone who chanced to be asleep  at  the  time.
Houses rooked, crockery rattled, and doors and  windows  shook  violently.
In some houses crockery was thrown from the shelves and broken.  In
Langley & Co.'s drug store a number of glass chimnies were shaken from
the shelves and smashed.  We have heard of no damage to persons or
dwellings. From New Westminster we hear that the  shock  was  not  felt
there."

Chilliwack Progress, The, Chillwack, B.C., October 1, 1891

     "Westminster was visited by a sharp shock of earthquake last Wednesday
morning about 4 o'clock. Many citizens were awakened by  the  shaking  of
their dwellings and the low rumbling sound which  accompanied  the  shock.
As nearly as can be ascertained the earthquake  occurred  at  precisely
8:44 o'clock, and it lasted nearly 10 seconds.  The shock was felt at
Victoria nearly four minutes earlier, which indicates  that  the  earthquake
travelled in a northeasterly direction. The shock  was  severe  at  Victoria
and lasted seven seconds, but did no damage  to  property.  Reports  of
this unusual occurrence from other portions of the Province will be
awaited with interest."

Chilliwack   Progress,   The,   Chilliwack,   B.C.,   December   10,    1891

     "An earthquake shock was felt at Port  Haney  Sunday  afternoon  about
3:30. The shock lasted a few seconds but  did  no  damage.  The  tremor
terrified the townspeople, shook the windows of the houses, disturbed
pictures and other household items.

     "Victorians were given a reminder of the dreadful earthquakes  that
have been doing so much destruction in Japan in shape of  a  slight  shock
about 3:30 Sunday afternoon. Buildings shook, glass  ware  threatened  to
fall, ladies screamed and turned pale, but nothing was damaged in any
way. "

     "RECENT EARTHQUAKE
     "Why the one recently felt here was not  recorded  by  seismograph.

     "For the benefit of those who thought they felt  an  earthquake  on
the afternoon of Sunday a fortnight ago, a Colonist  representative  has
obtained the following information from the  meteorological  office  upon
the subject: The photograph traced from  the  seismograph  installed  in
the basement of the old customs offices, recorded no Less than five
distinct shocks during the week ending Saturday, November  24.  The  first
shock occurred at 6:28 a.m. on Sunday the 18th, and  from  the  form  of
vibration may have originated some hundreds  of  miles  away.  The  next
occurred at 7:48 and 7:51 A.M. of the same day as two  sharp  but  small
vibrations, and from their appearance seem of local  origin  Strange  (at
least to the uninitiated) the shock felt in the afternoon  did  not  cause
the instrument to move, though it has been conclusively  proved  that  this
instrument is so sensitive that it is  constantly  recording  earthquakes
that occur at all quarters of the globe.

     "The cause for this is that the recording part  of  this  instrument
which consists of a long horizontal broom, is suspended  pointing  exactly
south; therefore should the earthquake waves travel east  or  west  they
cause the broom to swing; where as, as sometimes  happens,  these  waves
travel directly from north or south, when as they pass under this station,
they can only tip the broom up and down, but not sideways.  -It so happens
that the Sunday afternoon quake did travel from north  or  south,  for from
further information, it is learned that it was distinctly  felt  on  the
Gorge Road, at the Pacific club, on fort street, and in a  house  on  the
Dallas road., near Menzies street, the time being about 2 o'clock  before
the close of the week, no less than three more shocks  were  recorded  and
none of these were of local origin, on the contrary they were  of  a  type
of vibrations whose birth place was probably the other side of the
world."

     "Nanaimo, B.C. Oct. 7 - Two severe shocks  of  earthquake  following
each other in quick succession were felt here at  11:25  last  night.  The
first shock was preceded by the low, rumbling  roar,  terminating  in  a
sharp shock of 10 seconds duration.  Buildings  trembled,  whole  dishes
rattled and tumbled to the floor in every house.  The  shock  was  the  most
severe ever experience here.  On Commercial St. the shock was very
severe.  Mr. Albert Booth, the night operator at the CPR telegraph
office was busy taking the report, when suddenly he  was  almost  wrenched
from his chair by the force of the shock."

"EARTH TREMOR IS FELT IN VICTORIA

"Shock of one second's duration was experienced on Sunday afternoon.

     "An earthquake of about one second's duration was felt in the city
at 1 P.M. on Sunday, the movement being either from north to south or
vice versa.  The meteorological office seismograph did not register the
shock on account of the short duration of the movement and the  fact  that
the local instrument does not register earthquake activity except  in  the
line between east and west or vice versa.  The shock was, however, felt
by a number of persons, especially in the vicinity of  Cedar  HIll  where
it was most pronounced.

     "In confirmation of the individual reports concerning  a  period  of
earth unrest received from points adjacent to the city, a telegram to
the Times from Ottawa today announces that: 'The seismograph at the
Dominion Observatory at 12:15 P.M. yesterday recorded a more severe
earthquake movement than it did of the Jamaica earthquake."'

     "EARTHQUAKE FELT IN BELLA COOLA

     "Bella Coola, Jan. 20 - On Saturday, January 4, at 8 P.M.  there  was
a very distinct shock felt, lasting about 15  seconds;  felt  principally
in the lower part of the valley. On Saturday, the  5th,  the  tides  were
very high indeed, higher in fact than for the past 12 years; no  doubt  as
a result of the earthquake shock.  No damage was done."

"QUAKE FELT AT NELSON

"Doors at Provincial Jail Were Shaken last Week.

     "Nelson  April 4 - W.R. Jarvis, warden of the Provincial Jail
believes that an earthquake tremor was felt in  Nelson  last  week.  There
were two occasions on which the cell doors and all the  movable  iron  work
rattled without any apparent cause.

     "No train was passing on the track below at the time,  and  that  is
the only circumstance that has ever previously caused a  rattle  of  the
bars in the jail. The guards and prisoners  both  noticed  and  commented
on the incidents at the time."

     "EARTH TREMORS REPORTED

     "Two slight earth tremors were noticed  here  yesterday.  The  first
occurred in the morning and was reported by several  people  from  Rockland
Avenue. The second was noticed about 2:30 P.M.  and  was  especially  felt
at CoLwood.  It was stated yesterday to be due to changed barometric
pressure consequent on the high temperatures prevailing for  the  last  few
days."

     "EARTHQUAKE CRACKS IN SURREY SPUD FIELDS

     "Strangest story from the potato fields comes  from  T.  Longstaff,
Cloverdale, who reveals that the dyV spell has developed  long  and  deep
'earthquake' cracks in his soil. This week  he  found  cracks  zig-zagged
for lOO to 200 feet, several inches wide at the top,  and  extending  down
five to 20 feet to the water lone.

     "They look like the results of earth tremors.  The  clayish  soil  has
contracted during the very dry summer and by  some  mysterious  process  the
long cracks just 'suddenly appear'.  Why the cracks are so long and
clearly marked is not explained, except that they may be set  off  by  a
minor earth tremor. Mere contraction of  the  dry  soil  should  ordinarily
result in small scattered cracks and a settling."
