a (Mr, Edgar Thrupp, an earthquake expert, predicts an unusual series of destructive earthquakes next year, mostly within two long periods of continuous risks, from Mar 25 to April 10, and from October 6 to November 5. Mr. Thrupp said he could not say where the earthquakes would occur, but he had sent particulars to the governments of countries subject to such risks. -News cable from Vancouver.] HIS Earthquake Expert, Edgar Thrupp, Predicts a violent Shaking up Of various Portions of the Earth. Just what the Warning may be Worth, It’s hard to tell Although we well May wonder on what Grounds unnamed Such seismic Prescience may be claimed. a Thrupp with Reason cries "Beware!’ I hope his promised Shocks will spare New Zealand, with an extra wide Berth to the Part where I reside; And, better still, T trust they will Expend their Force on Japanese Bases and vital Industries. KNOW I should not entertain Wishes so blasphemous and vain; The Earthquake Shock, in any Case, Considers neither Time nor Place, Nor Peace, nor Wars, Nor Creed, nor Cause, And is as liable to fall On Us as Them, or not at All!
