NEW YORK, Nov. l5.--Horace Fletch-

has just been describing his system and
its effects to the Academy Of Medicine.
So firm believer is he in his system
that he says It Is possible for q man
more than so years old to increase his
muscular efficiency without systematic
physical exercise. f
He said that his contention had bssa
proved by his own case and by expert
ments in the Yale gymnasium. On his
50th birthday Mr.. Fletcher said that he
rode 100 miles on a bicycle and next
morning he added so more.
The lecturer told of personal tests
made at Yale last June. His previous
examination at Yale had been in 1908.
In the interval between the two exami-
nations he took no systematic physical
exercise, but ate in accordance with his
appetite and with reliance upon his
system. In the is months preceding last
June he was in the Philippines, China.
Burmah, India and the Vale Of Cashmere.
He lived on the food Of the various coun-
tries and in many instances he under
went hardships but he suffered no dis
comfort nor disability.

ed the tests at Yale, described their Sc.

the name Of the newly born prince of
the Asturias on the city's birth Of reg.

Justice, the first notary of the king
dom. The prince received the names
Alfonso Pho Christine Eduardo.
The christening, which was origin
ally fixed for next Tuesday, had been
postponed to date not yet fixed, the
king wishing to make the ceremony as
imposing as possible.
According to Senor Mendez, the
leading monarchial democrat, King
Edward telegraphed asking to be the
godfather of the infant, but a reply
was sent regretting that this was i'm
possible inasmuch as Pope Plus al

and infant in excellent condition.
The situation in Spain has consider
ably improved, partly owing to the
birth OF the prince. which has placed
the dynasty on a more solid basis
The liberal party is showing a grow
ing disposition to abandon its intran
sigent attitude and probably will alb
stain for short time from its meth

other hand. the birth of the heir is n
distinct setback to the growing in
fluence OF the republicans.
