TIE TIDAL WAVES In THE PACIFIC.

| The California Sea Bore-The Great Wav'
In the P0lynesian Isles ON August IA.
The enormous wave reported by the telegraph
from San Francisco to New York as having visited
the southern coast Of California and being sixty
four feet high, appears by our San Francisco ex
changes to have dwindled down to the miserably
small dimensions Of three or four feet. The Sa,
Francisco Times, speaking Of 1t, says
On Saturday morning last, the 18th inst, bef1e
and after daylight o singular phenomenon Occurri
at San Pedro on the southern cost of California. "A
series OF waves commenced moving upon the coz,
causing the tide to rise three or four tet
above its ordinary high water mark, wlch
were regularly followed by a falling OF the
tide the same distance below its usual low
water mark This agitation occurred regularly tice
every half hour, and continued for several rurs
into the day. The inhabitants thereabouts b6ame
much alarmed, experimenting some sudden c1vul-.
sion upon land, but nothing OF the kind happened.
Large ponds were left by the receding waters and
house was twice surrounded by water in alf an
hour. The incident Is attributed to some sutnarine
disturbance causing the bottom Of the tofse ana
fall, and thus impelling the waves towardsthe sea
coast. We do not learn that any damag has re-
suited.
The probability ia that the tide ran up IN beach
distance OF sixty -four feet further and tht the seq
receded q similar distance beyond low wfer marx
but that the tidal wave was sixty-iour fet high
simply ridiculous.
