THE OATH AND AMOUNTING.

THE OATH AND AMOUNTING.
To save the King fatigue parts of
the service which were on the pro-
gramme for June 20 were omitted.
Next came the taking of the oath The
Archbishop standing before the King
said
Sir, is Your Majesty willing to
take the oath?' The King answered,
II am willing" Upon being asked
by the Archbishop if he solemnly
swore to govern the subjects of his
vast domain the King answered, "All
this promise to do"
Then to bind the oath the King
stood from his chair and being escort
ed to the altar and placing his hand
upon a great copy of the Bible held
out to him by the Archbishop, he said
solemnly
1.-The things which have here be-
fore promised, l will perform and
keep, SO help me Cod" The King
then kissed the Bible and signed the
oath as the choir sang "Veni Creator
Spiritus. " Then the Archbishop pray
ed God to bless and sanctify His
chosen servant, King Edward. " Again
the organ pealed and the choir burst
into the anthem, "Zadoc the Priest and
Nathan the Prophet Amounted Solomon
King.
Following the administering of the
oath the King was anointed upon his
breast and the palms of his hands
with oil by the Archbishop.
THE GROWING.
The ceremony had been long, and
now approached it's elimination. The
Archbishop, standing before the altar,
took the crown in his hands and pray
ed God to crown the King with all
princely virtues. The King, who had
knelt during this prayer, seated him
self again in the chair and the Arch
bishop attended by other bishops and
the dean, advanced to where the King
sat, and the Archbishop very slowly
placed the crown on the Kings head.
There was absolute silence and then
the moment the crown touched the
Kings brow every one shouted loudly
and we'll together, God save the
King. The heralds blew their trum-
pets and outside guns fired salute.
AT the same moment the peers and the
Kings at Arms put on their own cor

In announcing the name of Nixon

THINK STEAMER WAS BURNED
st. Joseph Residents Witness Strange
Flashes Of Light at Night.

ST Joseph, Mich. Jan. 14.-Whether
some unknown lake steamer has
burned in Lake Michigan off this port
is a question that many citizens are
discussing. Alderman August LOef-
fer, accompanied by Fred Vail, while
returning to their homes in South st.
Joseph about u o'clock at night. saw
several bright flashes out on the lake
on the Chicago steamer course. Mr..
Vail went to the edge of the bluff,
where he could get clear view of the
lake. He saw bright illumination,
followed by bright flashes as of flames
extending in$D air.
Owing TO the fact that no lake boats
have been operating at this shore,
since the close of navigation marine
men are puzzled and cannot account
for the appearance of the flashes un-
less they were due to the burning Of
some strange vessel.
