A PROFESSOR'S OBSERVATIONS. OSCILLATIONS OF THE SOLID EARTH. Received February 25, 9 a.m. BERLIN, February 24. Professor Hecker, of Potsdam Observatory, as the result of six years' observations, claims to have measured the diurnal oscillations of the solid earth, which he considers analogous to the tides of the ocean. He states that there is a rise and fall each day in the surface of the earth of eight inches. Sir George Darwin and the Kimberley Observatory confirm the discovery, though the latter doubts the total analogy.
