A Hamilton resident who was in Japan at the time of the disastrous earthquake which destroyed' , Yokohama and a great part of Tokyo on September 1, 1923, says: "The long, swinging motion felt this morning at Hamilton was very similar to what we felt at Kobe at the time of the great earthquake in Yokohama and Tokyo. The indication appears to bo that a tremendous shock' linn occurred at a distance of a few hundred miles from here. It is quite posHible, of eourse, that the centre of Hie shook may have been out at sea. Kven If (he centre wns on land the shock limy not Wvo done great damage, unless ifri grenteat, force wast near a large town."
