The seismograph at Kealakekua was ruined. The quake was the most severe shaking the island has received in the memory of the oldest inhabi- tants. Dr. Thomas Jaggar, volean- ologist, announced that the violent shock protended eruption of one or more of three voleanoes and de- clared that all three might erupt shinultadeousiy. ————— MINISTER IS ATTACKED IN HIS PULPIT Conducting Revival Serv- ices, Pastor Struck by Hooded Man LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 26.-— Rev.
