Gave Sun Permission to Set.

"One OF the odd things that I saw
in the trip up the east coast of Africa
was the permission given each day by
one of the kings for the sun to set, ="
said T. A. Rose, who recently made a
trip to South Africa. says the Milwau-
kee sentinel. AT one of the ports
where we stopped the soldiers were
drawn up on the parade ground before
the royal palace as the sun was set
ting. With pomp and ceremony the
ruler advanced to the front of the
balcony on the second floor and ma
jestically waved his hand toward the
sun.
One of his subjects explained to
me that 1t was the royal sanction for
the sun to set. When asked as to
whether the ruler gave his permission
for the sun to rise in the morning the
man replied that the sun must always
rise before the ruler. but that it never
could go down unless the royal hand
waved approval. The king who did
this was the sultan of Zanzibar.
Il hardly believe that he himself
was sincere in thinking his permission
necessary, for he was educated for
four years at Harrow College in Bng-
land, but the performance was to in
crease the belief among the subjects
in his divine origin"
