The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1910-08-13

: tions are, so to speak, ready to hand
For the same reason there viii
probably be no court of claims con.
stituted in connection with the crown
ing of George V. The questions as tC
who has the right to carry the COLDER
spurs or the sword of state, etc, viii
, not arise, because they were settled il
1902, and in most cases the noblemen
who performer the various honorable
tasks for King Edward will do so for
his SON.
Finally, it is highly improbable that
such disaster as the kings grave ILL
ness on the eve of his coronation will
occur again. The coronation of 1902,
it will be remembered, was postponed
from a date at the end of June to one
in August, while King Edward lay re-
i covering from appendicitis and a dan
gerous operation.
Queenstown.-An all-Ireland depu-
! tation including the lord mayors of
| Dublin, Belfast and prominent rep
resentatiVes of commerce, will sail for
| New York on the steamer Oceanic,
september Il, to confer with Frank
H. Hitchcock, the American postmas-
ter general, on the question of induC-
ing the big Cunard steamers to re-
sumo calls at Queenstown.
Calcutta.-The police are again ac-
tive in Calcutta seizing seditious pam
phlets and searching houses. 1t is re-
ported that Kamalish Raj, uncle of
the Rajah of Naldanga, was shot and
is in critical condition. He was sus-
pected of informing the police against
political agitators. Lord Morley has
sanctioned the introduction of a bill
to extend temporary provisions of the
seditious meetings act.
Athens.-Swarms of locusts recent
ly invaded Athens, rendering the
streets slippery with their crushed
bodies. The market gardens of the
surrounding districts were seriously
affected.
London.-That aerOplanes are dis
turbing the peace of the heavens
above, the submarines that of the wa
ters, and that some terrible divine
punishment will strike us if we do not
give UP these modern activities, is the
firm belief of many English clergy
men of the old school, and one of
them. the we'll known preached,
Canon H B. Rawnsley, has in full
earnest implored the British govern
ment to put stop to flying and div
ing IN all forms.
In order to get from his own lips an |
of his opinion on aviation,
1 yesterday visited Canon Rawnsley in |
his study, and found him more than |
willing to speak.
1T is to many, and 1 might say say |
to most of the English clergy, horrible
to think that the idea of the war bal
loon and the war aeroplane has come
to stay. Not content with war on
earth, we are to have war in heaven,
and it is this knowledge which l be-
ieve is at the bottom of much of our
-everish haste to become conquerors
If the air, and of much of the intense
interest publicly manifested in avia-
ion meetings.
My quarrel with the flying man,
whether he be mounted on mono
planes or diving beneath a Dongelle,
s that he is importing into what was
meant to be a restful heaven an ele-
nent of unrest. If peace was not pos
ible on earth, at least the now un-
raveled heaven cast round out rest
essness its rest; and though L can

or then would l file away and be at
est no one has heard the roar of the
Motors and seen the crossing and re-
rossing of the vast aerial cars above
n aviation field, can feel that in that
eaven the dove would have as much
hance of finding what it sought
1T is very real and very diseturb-
ng element that is now being intro
uced into the quiet and clam of the ,
heaven, and the only
ray to put an end to it will be for the
overnment to forbid it altogether"
