TIDAL WAVE
SERIOUS DAMAGE IN VENICE United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright VENICE, November 8. Exceptional tidal floods are causing great damage to gondolas carrying the populace over St. Mark’s Square. Several old houses collapsed, and marble decorations on a number of palaces dropped off. The damage is serious, as it follows extensive undermining of the foundation of the palaces from the effects of motor-boat traffic. The populace are hastily moving furniture to the upper floors.
