THE PRESIDENTS SALUTE.
the Editor Of the Evening Star:

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Why are twenty-one guns always
fired as the Presidents salute?
w, B. b.
1.-THE presidential salute of twenty
n Jul was adopted that a uniform
ity in national salute might be main
tanned, it being the same number of
guns as the royal salute of England.
The reason why twenty-one guns was
originally selected has been a source
of guesswork, with no satisfactory re-
suits. OF the many surmises, the two
carrying the most weight of opinion
are: First, that twenty-one was the
same number of years fixed by English
law as the age of majority; the second.
that eve vas the original salute, and
three times seven would signify one
seven for each of the divisions, Eng
land and Wales. Scotland, and Ireland.
1t his been said that the United States
adopted this salute to signify to the
mother country that her child had
reached her majority, and was pre-
pared, in law, to inherit the land; and
to this end fired the "gun of 1776," the
figures of which year, 1+7+7+6,
equaled 21.-Ed.1
