_A recent earthquake opened a narrow erack along the top ofa 400-foot cliff near Salmon Beach, six miles\:from Ta- coma, Washington, and, the other day a side of the cliff broke loose, rode past community and hit Pudget Sound, leaving trees protruding from. waters® that had been up to 100 feet deep. whether. ated, A further illustration of the danger that may exist to the world comes with the report of the largest active earth- quake fault ever. found, One is in the South Pacific, about 1500 miles long and 400 miles deep, running fromthe Island of Tonga, near Samoa, to New Zealand. The other extends along the West Coast of South America, being about 2,700 miles long and 400 miles deep. 4 Dr. Hugo Benioff, of the California Institute of Technology, says that the ex- istence of the faults had been, known but their vast dimensions had not been real- ized. He says that each seems to consist of two massive blocks of the earth’s crust, one tending to slide up, the other down. The upward block of the South American fault has helped form the Andes Moun- tains and the downward pushing block probably created the deep submarine valleys of the Pacific, some 20,000 or 30, 000 feet below sea level. The geologists point out. that when- ever the two blocks slip, the result is an earthquake and atidal wave. The magni- tude of the quake and the wave depends upon the severity of the slip. As long as they are in balance and remain stationary, there is no danger of harm. Not only are the earth and its strue- ture precariously balanced in many re- speets, but the universe seems to be a deli: eately-attuned organism. The sun, for ex- ample, appears to be just about the right distance fromthe earth. If something should go wrong and the vast ball of fire would move appreciably closer to the earth, the enormous heat would immediate- ly destroy everything on this globe and might conceiveably destroy the globe it- self. the. 108 homes should be evacu- THE ORACLE Westers should not be squemish heenuse they are unable to separate the from the chaff of the propaganda is bewed by practically every country i the world.
