Professor Lowell tells us the Mar

opinion is really claim of knowledge.

Prince Olaf. Crown Prince OF Nor
way, has commenced his education, ana
for this purpose an English governess
has been engaged by Queen Maud. who
returned with her from Sandringham
to Christiania the other day. 1t is in
tended that Olaf, who is now six years
lof age, and who has entirely lost that
somewhat fragile look so noticeable
in his portraits of a year ago. shall re-
ceive good deal Of his training in
England, and in due course he is to be
entered as a cadet at the Royal Naval
College Of Osborne. to undergo pre-
!csely the same training as has been
given to the elder sons of the present
I'rince of Wales.
Qu!te,fa number of foreign princes
have received their training IN Eng
land, some of them having no such ties
with the reigning house OF Great Bri-
tain as Crown Prince Olaf who is a
grandson Of King Edward. Thus the
present King of Greece was serving as
Prince William of Denmark on board
a British man-of-war when elected to
the Hellenic throne. Other Danish
princes have put in terms of study at
the Royal Naval College of Greenwich
while the Royal Duke of Genoa. only
brother OF Queen Marguerite, and now
the ranking officer or the, Italian navy
was educated at Harrow before receiv-
ing some training in the English navy.

That for the first time within the mem
DRY of the present generation the be-

indication that the government expects
to have to call upon the King for the

seems that the jury gravely accepted

may take or leave at her pleasure.
Perhaps the Richmond committee

There is no longer a shadow OF a

is accurate. further haggling is as

that April will probably be time
