EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
SCARED PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.

Beach Has Tidal Wave-Quiver Lasts
for Nearly an Hour-Mount Wilson
Rocks Twice-Los Angeles Also Gets
Touch.

Los Angeles, May 16.-This city and
surrounding territory were visited Sun
day by a series of earthquakes that
alarmed many people, but did little
damage beyond breaking dishes, de-
stroying house ornaments and cracking
walls of the lighter class of construc-
ton.
The shocks began about $50 o CLOCK
in the morning and were felt as late as
1853 at the beach resorts and in Pasa-
dena, Riverside, Redlands and San
Bernardino, where tremors occurred last
Thursday night.
Pasadena suffered the heaviest dam
age so far as reported. Several build
ings were cracked, plaster fell from
numerous ceilings and on Mount Will
son, where the Carnegie observatory is
situated, the tremors alarmed many
tourists who had climbed the peaks TO
get views of the comet. The quake
came as a double shock with swaying
motion which gave the mountain
climbers a sensation Of seasickness.
The mountain top rocked perceptibly.
Small Tidal Wave at Long Beach.
At Long Beach the strand was
washed by small tidal wave just after
the first shock there, shortly before 7
0 clock. Another tremor followed and
then the ocean, which had been I'M
usually boisterous all morning, fell sud
denly fat and became for more than an
hour as smooth as a bay in a calm.
In the city and in Riverside many
sleepers were awakened by dishes clat-
tering from shelves TO the floor. Resi-
dents Of the suburbs rushed out Of their
houses, but no real serious damage was
reported.
A second shock visited Riverside
shortly after noon. Both tremors were
heavier than the quake which shook the
Orange belt on Christmas day, 1899
