Kioto, Japan, Nov. 10.--In Kioto. the

consecreated Emperor today.
For days the weather has been wet
and gloomy. At the moment Yoshihito
bowed down before the ancestral Sun
Goddess. the rays OF the sun flashed
over the mountain, dissipating the
clouds. According to legend the Sun
Goddess in prehistoric ages emerged
from her rock cave and Ulled the
whole universe with glory.
The appearance of the sun today
is interpreted by the people of ia
pan as good omen of an suspicious
reign Of Yoshihito and of the destiny
of the empire.
The first part Of the principal cere-
monies held this morning consisted of
n ritual service of ancestor worship,
which struck note of religious mys-
ticism. This afternoon Yoshihito was
enthroned. The morning ceremony
was addressed to the gods. IL seemed,
and the other to the people.
Foreigners who witnessed the coro-
nation were deeply impressed with the
scene. which took them back to the
days OF old Japan. The American wo-
men were particularly interested in the
sight of the Japanese nobiew omen In
ancient court robes.
