One of the odd things that | saw In
trip up the east coast of Africa was
the permission given each day by one
of the Kings for the sun TO set" said a
man who made trip to South Africa.
AT one of the ports where we stopped
the soldiers were drawn up on the pa
rade ground before the royal palace as
the sun was setting. With pomp and
ceremony the ruler advanced to the
front of t4le balcony on the second floor
aud majestically waved his hand to-
ward 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 10 rise in the morning the man re-
piled that the sun must always rise be-
fore the ruler, but that 1t could never
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 nee
essary. for he was educated for four
years Mt Harrow college In England,
