NICARAGUAN EARTHQUAKE IS TIMED BY HARVARD STATION

When the press reports of an earthquake in Nicaragua at 11.10 o'clock in the morning were received today, it was found upon examination of the records at the Harvard Seismograph station that the waves were still being recorded at noon. Although the quake was reported as having done damage near its center, it was only of moderate intensity, as indicated by the record. The maximum disturbance was recorded in Cambridge at about 11.25 o'clock. Since Nicaragua is approximately 2200 miles south of Cambridge, the first waves reached here about 6 3-4 minutes after the shock occurred there.
