Record of the San Francisco Earthquake
By Editor
The record of the present earthquake is a horrible thing to read by one who experienced the shaking. No direction but what was taken. Over six centers the stylus, or pen, hung as tho loath to leave. In two places it went beyond the plate, so that we do not have the full measure of the quake. We regret that we did not receive a better photograph than the rough proof from the negative. It has been sent us through the courtesy of Prof. Burckhalter, but the slow mails have not brought it to hand at the eleventh hour. We will endeavor to give it in our next. The date was April 18, 1906, at 5:14:48 A.M. Duration 28 seconds. Note the date of all these earthquakes.
