ALARM IN N.S.W.
MANY EARTHQUAKES. Tremors Over Extensive Area Of State. EXPERT'S REASSURANCE. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph-Copyright) (Received 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. Earth tremors ivere experienced at places over a wide area of the btate yesterday. The most severe was at Gunning!! There were shocks also at Kangaroo Valley, Canberra, and Goulburn. Over 100 subterranean exp?os!ons were experienced at Gunning, most of tliem more severe than those on Tuesday. Residents are becoming increasingly alarmed. The walls in several houses cracked and plaster fell from others. A severe tremor was felt at Goulburn simultaneously with a big shock at Gunning. Father O'Leary, of the Riverview Observatory, says that terrifying as the phenomenon may be, residents .of Gunning can take consolation in the assurace° that nothing serious is likely to happen there. The trouble is purely of a local character.
