Abstract
DURING the afternoon of May 3 at Lyons, N.Y., a peculiar quivering motion of the suspended magnet was noted, especially at about 1 o'clock p.m., and a strong westward deflection continued during the afternoon. Similar phenomena have been noted repeatedly when earthquakes were in progress, in this case the shock being quite severe, and occurring at 3.8 p.m. at El Paso, Texas.
