PHILADELPHIA, September l. Prof
Vim. Davis, of Harvard College, who is at
present visiting friends in this city this
morning, in talking to an Associated
Press agent upon the subject Of last
nights earthquake, said that:
In order to gather full and uniform rec
ords of the earthquake, observers in all
parts of the countr: should write out
answers to the questions given below and
thus furnish basis for learning all that
can now be learned about the shocks.
The reports should be mailed promptly to
the nearest signal service Office or TO the
United States Geological Survey, Wash
ington, ID. C. The Professor hoped that
persons who have any definite
reports to make, especially in re-
gard to the time OF the shocks, and the
damage they produced. will not neglect to
send in n statement in the belief that their
will be plenty of reports without theirs.
First-Was an earthquake felt at your
place Tuesday evening, August 81, about
10 o'clock? 1t is desirable that persons
living within or near the region shaken,
but who did not feel the shock, although
awake at the time, should report this ne
gative observation, so that the boundary OF
the shock may be determined In all
cases it should be stated whether the OBJ
server was out Of doors, in house, on what
floor, in what position, etc.
Second-What was the time and dura-
ton of the several shocks? The answer to
this question should state carefully how the
time and duration were determined,
whether estimated or observed by clock or
watch. The error Of the the time-piece
should be determined by comparison with

terrible earthquake. The first two shocks
were fearful. Buildings swayed from side

waves of the ocean People rushed madly
from their houses into the street. Some
Sprang from windows and were injured.
The experience of those in buildings at the
time of the first shock was that of
being rocked rs if in ship at sea. Many
of the most substantial buildings were
shaken to their foundations and the walls
cracked and sprung. Five minutes after
the first shock the second came, and ten
minutes later third Other shocks fol-
lowed until Los a H., when the eighth

Thus Logan is entitled to fourteen votes
