BY QUAKE AT UNO PARK Saturday evening there were few who would suggest that an earthiquake shock had been,felt in this district. Sunday morning a few folks wondered if the tremor the thought they had fe‘lt was from the earthquake referred to in the radio broadeasts. Sunday night it was a common thing to say : "*Wel}, did you féel that earthquake last night?‘‘* Monday at noon the good news was:â€"‘*That was a bad earthquake we had «on Saturday night!‘‘~ In a week or two the earthâ€" quake will be a very: serious visitâ€" ation, and by Christmas there will, perhaps, be scores of lives snuffed out. in the North Land by the tremors of: the earth.

People who had retired for the night were fairly shaken from their ‘beds and conâ€" siderable alarm was felt, many believâ€" ing that the storm outside had turned to a cyclone or that the foundations of their houses had given way in some manner. ©Telephones were soon busy ‘howâ€" ever, and reports from outside points established the fact that the unusual tremor had been fairly generrl all over the country. Poultry houses on the farms in this vicinity went in an upâ€"roar immediately after the shaking up as the fowls flew about in terror. One pen of fifteen or more White Leghorns, an extra nervous variety apparently went into a panie when shaken from their roosts and_erashed thnouch the windows out into â€" the storm â€" where they were found the i . marnineg following â€"mormning ScattEred for a hundred yards, all} more or less severely frozen. . is the gecond earth tremor to have ‘been felt in Temiskaming, one occurringe ‘whout five years ago at about the same time of year but not nearly so severe."‘ And Wabewawa has not been heard from yet in the matter!
