Eastward Of st. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, January 23.-The
Pulkova observatory today recorded an
earthquake in a direction eastward at a
distance of about 1000 miles. the total du-
ration being eightyfive minutes.
The first shock was registered at 455
am, and the second, which was the prin-
cipal shock, at sos. This lasted eight
minutes. the maximum tension being
maintained for thirteen seconds. The
vibrations stopped completely at $40 a m.
Prince Galitzln, chief seismologist is of
the opinion that the shock was weaker
than that at Messina. but the Pulkova OBJ
