The Republican., 1947-07-24

Men Gre fcscin0ted ond sometimes
oppolled by manifestations Of v1st power
beyond oil human control.
Primitive mon stared with frightened awe
at QnqrY storm clouds. Cnd fled in tenor to
his cave when the fury broke ond the winds
loshed the trees ond lightning tore Great
holes in the landscape
New powers hove been discovered os
nan has dug deeper into the secrets Of
Nature ond oil Of them have been viewed
with apprehension or plain fear.
Steam, electricity, explosive gases, diesel
rddum ond many others, each in turn with
its morveIs Of achievement and its vast
pOtentiolites, hove filled mankind with awe
as he wondered whdt other secrets o.
power 10y buried in the bosom Of the
universe.
T0doY il is the otomic bomb which stoq-
gers mans imagination and mokes him
tear for the future Of his world and his
civiIizotion.

The powet barge Seldovia, belonging to the Berger Distributing Co. of Anchorage, had a fire this morning while tied up in Seldovia har- Dor.
 The fire was due to a backfire of the auxil- ary engine .uhivh set afh ne the ; surrounding oils and greases. =.
 According, to the . Engineer aboard, John Barte11, he came out of the conpanionvay of the starboard engine and as he turned to. go to the :, Port engine a streak of flame shot out of the port engine. This flame extended for several feet catching -:afire oils and Ereases whi ch it touched. The Engineer then had to go topside and get an extinguisher from the neighboring barge the Lois Ander son.
 Three or four large bottles of COP were el1ptied into the engine room and all doors and venti1ators were shut.
 This in a short while extingui shed the flame.
 Later investigation revealed considerable damage to the light pl- ant and SUIT ounding wir-
