SOUTHERN EARTHQUAKE
RECORDED AT DOMINION OBSERVATORY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The southern earthquake at 5.35 p.m. on Saturday was recorded at the Dominion Observatory. The centre was about 320 miles away. A provisional estimation from records places it at about 50 miles from Timaru. It was felt all down the coast southward from Akaroa. There has been considerable seismic activity recently in the southern part of New Zealand. The region as a rule is not greatly subject to quakes, comparatively speaking, and this activity has been centred chiefly round Lake Te Anau. The epicentre of this last shock appears to be further north than usual, the southern and western area of the South Island generally being the part affected.
