the Occurrence.
PEOPLE AW AXE ED

PORTLAND. Me. July 15.-An earth
quake shock affecting a large portion of
Maine occurred at $40 am. today and was
noticeable for about ten seconds. 1t was
said to have been more severe than the
shocks of March y. 1904, which occurred
about l am. Todays trembling awoke
many people from sound sleep.
1t was reported from Bangor to kittery
and from above Pennington to the coast at
Rockland, and seemed most severe in CEN
t1al Maine, and especially at Augusta and
WaterviIe. Early reports of the quaking
were received from kittery, York, Bidde-
ford, Portland, Brunswick, Lewiston, Au-
gusta, Waterville, Rumford Falls. Farm
ington, Skowhegan, Rockland. Belfast and
Bangor, also Manchester and Concord in
New Hampshire. Night operators of the
New England Telephone and Telegraph
Company at Caribou, Houton, Machas and
Mllinockcta, all east of Bangor, did not
notice any disturbance.
Two shocks were felt in Brunswick,
Thomaston and some other places. the sec
ond being more severe than the first. In
the vicinity of Portland a rumbling noise
accompanied the shock being heard percep-
tibly by Captain Gilbert NJ. Dinsmore Of the
Portland observatory, who became familiar
with earthquakes while living in Mexico.
The state prison at ThomaSton was shaken,
but no damage was done there or In any
section of the state.
Reports indicate that the shock was not
felt west of New Hampshire.

which ratified dishes and shook windows
State Geologist Leslie A. Lee of Bow
doin College said as he could judge
the tremulous agitation passed from east to
west at $40 o'clock and was between seven
and ten seconds in duration.
There is no instrument at Bowdoin for
registering the velocity and strength of the
concussion. Professor Lee said it was one
of those shocks which is caused by the
slipping of\rock on the side of tssure at
some considerable depth, probably two or
three miles. as a result of long continued
strain 1t could have been stimulated by
an explosion of some kind. Professor Lee
could not locate, from reports received, this
center of the shock.
Felt at Concord, N. n.
CONCORD n. H, July 15.-An earth
quake shock was distinctly felt in this city
at $40 this morning. Reports from the city
of Manchester and other points indicate tnat
