Jacksonville Post F k Wonder Performed by Earthquake in OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF ► JACKSONVILLE, OREGON Hawaiian Islands. ► Honolulu, Sept. 5, via San Fran Cisco, Sept. 16.—A slight earthquake was felt on the island of Hawaii Fri lay night, September 4, and at mid­ night the molten lava in the pit of the volcano of Kilauea suddenly ceased rising and immediately began to run out below, the surface looking like the water in a bathtub from which the plug had been pulled. Ihe molten lava ran rapidly away, owering tile level instantly and continuously until by Saturday morn mg, or in something like seven or eight hours, the 900 feet depth of lava in the pit had all run out, and. except for the cooling sides of the pit, there was no fire seen or heat felt. As the lava lowered in the pit the walls scaled off in great masses, dropping into the molten lava below them, ihe few who were fortunate enough to see this wonderful phe­ nomena describe it as most awe-in­ spiring. The lava iu the pit, then about 900 or 1000 feet deep, began to rise nearly three years ago, and had been rising gradually since, until it was within about 100 feet of the top of the pit It is supposed that the earthquake opened some fissure below by which the lava flowed out, perhaps under the sea. On Saturday night another slight earthquake was felt, and at midnight Saturday it was observed that activ­ ity in the pit had begun again, molten lava being thrown up in fountains more than 100 feet high, and at latest ' accounts the lava had again risen 400 feet in the pit.
