ton should not take place.
The king has always had a supersti-
ton that he would never be crowned.

of Edwards birth a prophecy was
made which ran:
"King shall Edward be, but never
shall he be crowned"
The latest bulletin issued announces
that the kings condition is as good as
could be expected after so serious an
operation. His strength is maintained,
there is less pain, and his majesty has
taken a little nourishment, but it will
be some days before it will be possible
to say that King Edward is out of dan

Perityphlitis, the affection from
which King Edward is said to be suf-
fering, is an inflammation of the loose
areolar tissue surrounding the upper
portions of the large intestine and
upon which they rest In a very large
majority of cases the Inflammation is
not confined to the surrounding tissues
but involves the vermiform appendix.
Less than a score of years ago appen-
dicitis was unheard of, and intestinal
diseases, whose foci could be definitely
said to be in the right lilac fossa, were
described under the two heads, typh-
Tits and perityphlitis.
A brief notice has been published in
the Gazette, as result of which the

the earl marshaIs Office and reads as
follows:
II have to announce that the solem-
nifty of the coronation of their mai
estes King Edward VII. and Queen
Alexandra is postponed from the 26th
to date hereafter to be determined"
The best informed opinion places the
date of the coronation in about three
months time, provided King Edward
progresses well in the meantime
The pope and the king of Italy and
other monarchs have cabled anxious
inquiries concerning King Edwards
progress, and dispatches received from
all parts of the world reflect the in
tensity Of feeling occasioned by the I'M
expected news of his majesty's illness
and sympathy with the British nation.
At various times during the last year
it has been predicted that King Ed
ward would never be crowned Many
believed his health would not survive,
and others saw ominous signs of COM
ing distress in every little turn of the
coronation preparations.

blood poisoning, it is feared his males
tvs present physical and nervous con-
strain involved. There is consequently
intense anxiety as to the outcome.
The kings doctors believe that his
majesty would have been dead before
now except for the operation. His con-
dition became so alarming Monday
night that at one time it was feared
death might ensue before the surgeons
knife could afford him relief. Intense
swelling of the eXtremities, accompa-
MED by alarming symptoms of mortifi-
cation, constituted the emergency
which demanded an immediate opera
ton. To the last the king tried to
avoid this, and he was willing to be
carried to the abbey for the coronation
ceremony in order that it should occur
as arranged The influence of Queen
Alexandra was enlisted, however, and
at an early hour yesterday morning
the royal patient was prepared for the
operation which, even in the slillful
hands of England's best surgeons was
fraught with grave danger.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday
afternoon his majesty was moved from
his couch to the operating table, and
the anRsthetic was administered. Sir
Frederick Treves made the incision
near the patients groin and carried it
upward, with an outward slant, for
nearly four inches. The obstruction
was removed, and a tubing was placed
