Light Trembler
Shakes Astoria
Earthquake Shock Rattled Doors
and Windows at 3:45 Yes
terday Afternoon.
At J:45 yesteriay afternoon Astoria
Avas shaken by an earthquake shock.
This - ill perhaps be news to many peo
ple, but it will also have a tendency to
confirm a lingering suspicion of many
others and to verify the pronounced
belief of not a few. From the time of
the shock until late last night The As
torian was besieged with inquiries from
those who believed that a tremblor had
been experienced, and an excellent de
scription of the shock was obtained.
The earthquake came unexpectedly.
A dri-iling rain was falling but weath
er conditions were not at all unusual.
At J: 45 frame structures began to rattle
windows and doors were shaken, and
n even some of the. most substantial
buildings In the city the shock was felt.
Wade Hampton Smith, who was sitting
In the parlor of the Holden house with
a party of friends, states that there
were three distinct shocks. The first
wnwl to come from the southwest.
and the second a sort of twister, from
the south. After a brief lull, the third
shock was felt. The chandeliers at the
Holden house swayed violently, and the
gentlemen in the parlor all exclaimed
"earthquake" at the same moment.
The most substantial structure In the
city Is the public building. Deputy Col
lector of Customs Parker was at his
office in the public building at the time
of the earthquake. He says that he
distinctly felt the shock, the building
trembling and doors and windows rat
' tling. He looked at his watch and not
ed the hour 3:45. When a reporter
called Mr. Parker's first question was,
"Did you feel the earthquake T' and the
reporter admitted that he had.
Several other persons informed The
Astorian that they had noticed the
tremblor, but Mr. Smith, gave the only
good description of it.
This is the first earthquake that has
' been felt in Astoia for nearly 10 years.
The most severe shock was experienced
In 1884, when ' buildings were badly
shaken, plaster being knocked from
walls all over the city. Yesterday's
shock was a light one and no damage
was done.

Meat once meant any kind of food.
In one old edition of the Lord's prayer
the well known petition is rendered,
"Give us this day our dally meat."
Town originally signified a farm or
farmhouse. It is used byWycllfTe in
this sense: "and they went their ways
one to his town, another to his mer
chandise." Tariff was the name of a Moorish
chieftan, Abou al Tariffa, who had a
fortress near the Strait of Gibraltar
and levied toll on ships and merchan
dise passing through.
Libel once meant any little book, but
as many small tracts in the early day
of printing were personal and offensive
In character the word acquired Its pres
ent significance.
Imp once meant a child. Shakes
peare, speaking of the children in the
tower, calls them imps. Jeremy Tay
lor, in one of his sermons, speaks of
"the beautiful Imps that sang hosannas
to the saviour In the temple." The
