Prof. Edwin G. Pickering, director

The Associated Press:
1T remains fer the geological de-
rartnent of the university to inquire
into the causes of the earthquake which
occurred in New England at an early
hour today. but the observatory al
ways has at hand corps of carefully
trained assistants prepared and capa-
bic of making observations. When a

About all that We could do was TO
estimate the duration Of the earth
quake. We found that the shock start

seconds after midnight. and that il
lasted several seconds. There We're two
strCng shocks and a third or lighter
vibration. The strong shocks were
greater in some respects than any
