1t resembled a glowing orange bal
loon emitting a purplish gas or
flame; to others, a new model for
a space ship.
THE motion Of the objects de.
veloping within the bell could be
controlled to some extent from the
outside. The lights tended to fol-
low a small electric magnet drawn
along the glass, or even the wave
of a mans hand. This occurred
when the mans body contained
enough static electricity to influ-
ence the lights.
"At times, small orange lights
about the size of marbles rolled
across the base and made minute
flashes on the glass. Mr.. Scott
said these lights sometimes float
in formation. He believes they are
drawn into position and into the
same motion by ionized layers or
minute cloud masses within the
jar.
The experimenters say their
method of producing the phenom-
ena may be new. but the principles
involved have been known for
years to students and physicists. -

MINK SKINS NO VALUE?

During the nineteenth century, mink skins were considered of no value; the Russian-American Company would not buy them at all; and the coastal Indians referred to the natives of the Yukon and KuskokWim regions as "mink people," meaning beg gars. From 1870 to 1880, mink skins were bought at 20 cents each.

 Witnesses at the time of the ac- cident stated that the truck was not travelling at an excessive rate of speed. Because of a car park ed close to the highway, Culli- son was unable to pull off to the side of the road when he sighted the girls in the road. Instead ne hit the car and skidded, knock ing Gail Johnson to the pavement and hitting Sherry with the left front fender and causing inStan- taneous death.

Work Sioppage On Eklutna Tunnel EyneeIeS 10 End Soon

At EkIutna Headquarters this week it was expected that the work stoppage involving the EkIutna Lake half Of the tunnel operation would be ended this week.
 Commenting on the reason for stoppage, Byron Felkner, project engineer. opined that the real req son was that the contractor had cut off the workers on-th-Job coffee recently.
 He said that the contractors s plan to put an electric hoist on the three-foot diameter bucket that goes down into the 14-foot diameter shaft had met with the workers approval. The crisis inn mediately preceding the work stoppage happened last week when the gear-controlled cable piled up on the drum and kept the bucket Gull of mem from go- ing up or down. Eighteen feet from the ground. the workers climbed up a steel ladder to the ground surface, where they changed to a rope ladder to get over the rail protecting the hole.
 Felkner denied the workers implication that there had been many serious accidents and that the rate was far in excess of that for similar operations. According to personnel records of the con- tractors as kept by the Eklutna Project supervisors, there has never been a broken back on the job, as reported recently. Since the start of construction last tali' the only fractures have been d broken leg and a fractured foot. A foreman received the com pound fracture of lower leg

GOLD WET SPRING DELAYS PLANTING AND BREAKUP

Most farmers in the Valley have been more interested this week in when the water will drain out of their fields than when 1t will flow freely in the Tanana at Nenana.
 Spring planting has been de- layed in the Valley by unseason- able dampneSs resulting from al- most nightly light snows that leave the ground wet and muddy in the day time. Many farmers haven't been able to get on their land with blows.
 The same delay has been notic- ed in the Tanana Valley, where there is still snow and where nighttime temperatures have been dipping below the freezing mark.
 Congregating around town as they itch impatiently to get to work, Alaskan farmers are mostly agreed that it is "an unusually cold, wet, and late spring."
 In Nenana there's a lot of grumbling because the breakup hasn't come on schedule.
