nresent Emperor intends to have the re-
mains of Frederick buried among ids
dogs as he wilIed It. We saw the chair
In which he died at about the age of n
years. He had a little clock which ne
himself wound up every time until ne was
no longer able. At the moment the
breath left him his attendants looked at
the little clock, and just then II stopped
and though nearly 100 years have elapsed
since the clock has never been started
and the hands staEd at 20 minutes after
2 o'clock In the morning. when the breath

He never would live with his Queen, did
not like her because he was forced by
his father to marry her. She

Basbarina the beautiful Italian dancing
girl whom he was said greatly to nave
admired. p 4
A man named Arnold owned "winde
muhle'' or as we call II a wind mill, near
San Souei palace before 1t was built.
The noise of the mill greatly disturbed
and annoyed Frederick. He sent man

| frederick sent foT.chim and told Arn?lo
that he would give him his own price
for the mill But Arnold declined to sell,
saving that he would keep 1t wniie ne
lived and at his death would bequeath II
to his son. Frederick replied wen SIR,
1 am King and intend to have that MN
removed or destroyed" The controversy
went into the courts and at the end oil
protracted litigation the courts decided
for Arnold. AT his death 1t went to nus

Berlin and Potsdam he put guard

Erederick's remains and in person gave
instruction, to the officer OF the stGro
not to allow that church to be IN any
manner desecrated. for. said he, 1t con-

thing; he had the coffin OF Frederick
opened and took from 1t his sword. winch

quested.
