The first was a peculiar record made by the tide gauge in Honolulu harbor, showing the presence of a tidal wave oscillating the sea, probably from seis- mic disturbance across the ocean, as has repeatedly occurred, usually causéd by: violent earthquakes in Japan, also once from the Krakatao eruption in the Straits of Sunda in 1883. The second event was damage done to the railway track by heavy surf along the north coast of Oahu. These were evidently tidal waves, since no surf{ preper could possibly reach so high above the beaches of that coast. The third was the inundation by tidal waves November 29 of the vil- lage of Pelekunu, on the north coast of Molokai. Neither of the two tidal inundations reported were violent enough to do great damage, although | long continued, thys proving that they were inundations transmitted from seismic disturbances thousands of miles away. The direction of these distur- bances was from the north. The scurce of them was therefore not in Japan. Also had it been there the cable would doubtless have reported it.
