duties exceilently.
No stage effect could have equaled
the climax that ensued the moment
the crown was placed upon King Ed
wards head, the sudden illumination
by hundreds of electric lights making
the thousands of priceless jewels-in-
GLIDING those in the crown itself-tO
sparkle with dazzling brilliancy. The
instantaneous movement of the peers,
the placing Of their cOrOnets upon
their heads, the chOir'S loud God Save

from thousands of male and female
throats, constituted such an Outburst
Of pent-up thankfulness and rejoicing
as even Westminster Abbey. with all
it's historic traditions, never before
witnessed.
London, Aug. 12-OsbOrne House,
the favorite palace of the late Queen
Victoria and the most enchanting re-
treat on the sunny Isle of Wight, has
been presented by King Edward to the
British nation in memory of his corona

king intended to make this gift to his
subjects and that it should be trans

later before the return to buckingham

the people really let themselves loose.

AGED ARCHBISHOP FALTERS
Has Trouble Getting the Kings Crown On
One Touch of Nature.

.
One Touch of Nature.
Two incidents in the service in the
abbey will live in the memory Of all
who witnessed them. The first OF these
centered around the aged archbishop
Of Canterbury. When he came to place
the crown upon King Edwards head
his frame Swayed so violently that the
bishop of Winchester had to support
him, while the dean of Westminster
put guarding hand under the crown.
It was evident that the archbishop of
Canterbury could not see the kings
head, and after cropping around he was
just about to complete the most i'm
portant part of the ceremony when it
was discovered that he had the crown
with the back to the front. Slowly he
raised it, and amid a tension that had
grown to pitch of painful nervous
ness finally managed to place the
CT wn correctly upon the kings head.
A few minutes later came the eli
max of his feebleness. He was kneel-
ing to do the first homage of all the
subjects of the king, when suddenly
he almost tainted and would have
fallen upon Ills sovereign's knees had
not King Edward tenderly, but firmly,
graSped both the prelateS hands and
lifted him to his feet.
The trenor which this event caused
had scarcely subsidized when an eXQui-
sitely human touch varied the pro
ceedings, and the king was forgotten
i'm the father. Instead of merely ac-
cepting the homage of the Prince of
Wales, King Edward put his arms
around the prince and kissed him. and
then recalled him and wrung his hand
