RECORD
ON SEISNOGRAP
Weather Bureau Thinks the
Trouble Is In the Aleu-
tian Islands.

Examination OF the record sheets on
the seismograph at the United States
Weather Bureau this morning showed
evidences Of a well defined distant
earthquake OF moderate intensity.
The shock occurred yesterday about
eight seconds before noon, and con-
tinued for two hours.
The bureau officials said this morning
that everything points to the earth
quake having occurred about 400 miles
away, the Aleutian Islands being the
probable origin Of the shock. No official
notification from that section Of the
globe has been received at the Weather
Bureau, and II Is thought that the
shock was so slight that IT may not have
been noticed even by the natives Of the
place in which II occurred because OF
the absence Of Instruments to record
such disturbances. The official report
from the Weather Bureau follows:
"A well-defined distant earthquake OF
moderate intensity was recorded begin
ming almost exactly at noon. seventy
fifth meridian time. September S. The
first preliminary tremors began at
IL .52 a. m and the second at 12.0S 10
o. m: total duration e the earthquake
was nearly two hours.
'The origin Of the disturbance is
placed at about 1000 miles from Wash
.ngton. and we are inclined TO believe
was located in the vicinity OF the Aleu-
tian Islands"
