encouragement intended to be sung to the war
riors setting out for battle.
1t Is usually difficult for a listener of another
race to catch an Indian sol owing to the con-
ficting noise due, in a great part, to the beating
of the drums. There is usually a difference In
time. the drum beats being designed to govern
bodily movements and mark the steps Of the
ceremonial dancers, whereas the song voices the
emotion of the appeal. The Drums may be beaten
in "a time and the song be In ga time or the
beat be in 5g time against a melody In "a time,
or the entire song may be sung to a rapid tremolo
beating of the drum. The officials who have been
making a study of Indian music are enthusiastic
over its possibilities. They declare that not only
does the field afford rich opportunities for the
study Of the growth Of musical form, but the
Indian songs themselves offer to the present-day
composer a wealth of melodic and rhythmic move
ments constituting a source Of inspir alton equal
to that which has been supplied by the folk songs
Of Europe and vastly more serviceable in the
development of a distinctive American school"
of music.

ANCIENT OFFICE OF CORONER
cial Were Many and of
Importance.

1t has been supposed, and legal his.
torians have told us. that the office
Of coroner was originally instituted
by King Alfred with that of the sher-
if. both being designed to aid in keep
ing the peace when the earls gave up
the wardships of the county. The legal
historians are wrong, according to DR..
F. j. Waldo of the British Medico-Le-
gal Society, who has traced the his
tory of the coroner and his ancient
office as far back as the year 1894.
In early days the coroner had a wild
er and more general jurisdiction than
he now enjoys. Coroners were wont
to hold their views" not only upon
deaths where an investigation was
considered necessary, but also upon
various serious crimes which were
treated as occasions for the raising
of revenue for the Crown. The mis-.
sion of the coroner to the state was
not alone to investigate crimes and
bring felons to justice. He superin-
tended the forfeiture of money and
personal property by criminals to the
Crown. for the recording of which he
was responsible. These forfeitures
were not confined, in cases of violence
and death, to the property of the per-
son who could be held directly re-
sponsible. but included ANIMALS and
instruments to which loss of human
life under any circumstances might
be traceable.
