Refreshments Correspondence The Earthquake of August 29. Editor: I have been asked to obtain sime information regarding the recent earthquake. Can any reader let me know if he noticed any top-heavy object thrown over, especially one with a very narrow base such as a vase of flowers? If so, would it be pos- sible for me to obtain the width of the base, the height, and the direction in which it fell over? Any information on these points would have a very definite scien- tific value. Yours truly, J. PORTER, 1471 Duchess Road, Hollyburn. hVANT BETTER LIGHTING With the approach of fall the council is receiving applications for more street lighting. F. Harrison, the Vancouver post- master, who has a house at Caulfeild, has by letter asked for a light to be placed on a post on the Pilot House Road, and a petition was received from eight residents requesting a light at the corner of 23rd and King'.
