Earthquake Forecasting Seen Possible With More Stations
Dr. C Willard Hayes of the US Geological Survey says advance quake warnings may come within years with well equipped observation stations and rapid data exchange. He notes earthquakes show premonitory signs and compares progress to weather forecasting before San Francisco quake. He cites deep crust readjustments and faults near San Francisco and Palo Alto as likely quake sources.

Expert says San Francisco quake from faulting not Vesuvius
Dr G F Becker of the US Geological Survey argues the San Francisco earthquake arose from long term faulting along the Pacific coast. He explains coast uplift, deep water near shore, and a global uplift line from Singapore to Valparaiso, with no imminent danger of recurrence.

Last great US earthquakes and a California poet warning
The piece recalls the 1886 Charleston quake as the last major US event, noting four weeks of tremors after the initial shock and $8 million in damage with 27 immediate deaths. It lists two centuries of destructive quakes and ends with Bret Harte’s poem Fate predicting San Francisco's doom and the city swallowed by an earthquake.
