BERKELEY, Cal., Jan. 26.—The | mountains of the coast range in the vicinity of San Francisco are moving slowly northward, caus- {ng enormous earth strain and producing rebounds, in one of which Mount Tatnalpais jumped back 6.6 feet, according to Prof. A. C. Lawson, of the University of Califomia, in a gealogical bul- « letin made public to-day. Tamalpais, near San Francisco, moved northward ten feet be- tween the years 1854 and 1906, and then hopped back 66 feet in 1906 at the time of the San Adreas slip; which caused the great earthquake of that year, Prof. Lawson asserted.
