Six years ago, says a New York
Sun dispatch of the 8th, Rev. W. H.
Harrison predicted that the south At
lantic coast would be visited by severe
earthquakes in August, 1886.^ He fur
ther predicted that at no distant date
after the shocks on the Atlantic coast
the city of San Francisco would be to
tally destroyed. He alleged his pre
dictions were made on scientific calcu
lations. And nqw the people of San
Francisco are anxious, as they have
suffered what is locally called “ earth
quake weather” for the past two days.
On Tuesday the thermometer regis
tered only one degree short of the hot
test weather ever known. Former hot
spells have been followed by earth
quakes, so there seems rational cause
for uneasiness.
