"QUAKE SHOCK FELT HERE EARLY MONDAY
"A slight but perceptible, earthquake shock was felt in Penticton
early on Monday shortly after 7 o'clock. Of brief duration, it was
probably more pronounced on the beaches than in the town. In some
homes, chairs were rocked and in others the tremor was barely felt, as
Mother Earth adjusted her strata covering in this neighborhood.
"About a year ago, a similar shock was felt in Penticton but much
more so at Naramata, at the time when tremors were experienced farther
down the coast and among islands in the Pacific. In the present instance,
there are no reports of earthquakes at other points.
"It is about 14 years since earthquake shocks have been felt here,
other than the 2 chronicled above."
