WAIPUKURAU, This Day. ^ Residents of Waipukurau and Waipawa were startled last night just after 9 o'clock by a sharp, heavy thnd which rattled walls of buildings and doors. A peculiar feature of the incident was that individuals vaTiously tbought that it was a heavy body bumping into the wall of a house, somoone slamming a heavy door, or the dropping of a bag of coal in a nearby room. Another peculiar feature about it was that in a number of cases it only shook one wall of a house, and not the whole house. Nothing of the kind was heard or felt in Takapau. It was thougbt that there might have been some explosion at the military camp at Waipukurau, but inquiries this morning revealed that this was not so, and nobody knows what caused it. '
