KING EDWARDS HEIGHT.
From This Extract 1t May he Drawn
That His Majesty Is About
Fiye-FoOt-Six.

Why people should make bets on
informal tion, and then ask me to de-
eide them without ascertaining
whether l know any more than they
do, is one of the mysteries of edi-
torial life, says writer in London
Truth. Here is the latest example cf
this singular practice:
Sir: | should esteem it a favor if
you will kindly answer in your Truth
columns or privately, what the
height of King Edward VII. is, as two
papers have already been written to.
and they decidedly disagree, one stat
ing five feet five and one-half inches
and the other five feet four inches,
and l shall, therefore, take your
measurement as authentic, etc"
One might have supposed that his
previous experience would have
shaken this gentleman's confidence i'll
editorial infallibility. Why did he
not write to the kings tailor?
have never had occasion to take his
majestys measure. But if my guess
is to decide the knotty point,
guess five feet seven inches. No
doubt plenty of people will be ready
to correct this off hand; but l do
not believe l can be more than hall
an inch out either way. Certainly
both the figures given above are un-
der the mark.
