INTERESTING STORY
ABOUT JENNY Lind
[From the Detroit News.


In his book of "reminiscences, Arthur
Coleridge, a great-nephew of the fam
Gus poet, gives an interesting account
of Jenny Lind. He was her intimate
friend for 20 years. He tells the fol-
lowing story of the prima donna and
the Duke of Wellington:
''In four months after her arrival
in London the old warrior had be-
come a captive to the enchantress.
He courted the lady so ostentatious-
ly as to rouse the jealousy of the
Italian faction; his enthusiasm was
rather awkward at times to the OBJ
ject of his homage. | have her own
authority for saying that the Duke
always arrived early and seated him
self in his box on a level with the
stage. Directly he saw Jenny Lind
he opened fire: Good evening Miss
Lind, how are you tonight? All right,
l hope These well-meaht utterances
were a trifle out of place at the par
ticular time, for the Lucia, Amina, or
/ Daughter of the Regiment was always
so absorbed in her part as to be out OF
| touch with all outside influence"

HARDING
Continued from Page One.)

indeed the less menacing conditions of
the coal strike of 1902, Mr.. Roosevelt
fully intended to seize the anthracite
mines of his own initiative. In fact,
he was tugging in the harness to seize
them.
Without asking anybody's advice,
and carefully concealing his intention
from everyone except one man, Mr..
Roosevelt in the role of commander-in-
chief of the army, summoned General
Scofield and told him to hold himself
and the army in readiness to take over
the anthracite mines and operate them
as a receiver would.
Dislikes Such Action.
This sort of action is repugnant to
President Harding. He thinks that
one of the great dangers of a democ-
racy lies in officials arbitrarily step
ping beyond the bounds of their con
stitutional authority. To refrain con-
| scientously from the exercise of any
authority not clearly within his pre-
ogative probably has been regarded by
| President Harding as being a larger
! fundamental contribution to the public
good than the more spectacular things
| he might readily do with a good deal
of popular approval from a public
mind excited by an emergency.
Further than this, for other reasons
seizure of some mines or of some rail
roads never has been and is not now
part of the immediate program fol-
dealing with the strikes. In spite OF
the flood of talk on this point for two
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-09-01

months past, there has never been
much in it. Nevertheless, the strikes,
and especially the railroad strike have
now reached a point where this step
must be considered, at least in the
light of final contingency.
Thinks Power Right
This being so, Mr.. Harding thinks it
is desirable for congress to give him
the necessary authority so that he can
use it if the need should arise. He
hid told this to congress. But at this
point the president stops. At this
point, too, the situation becomes in
volved with the whole question of the
relations between Harding and con
gress.
Harding will not assume leadership
of congress, he will not use a club over
congress. He will not use his patron
age to bride congress. He will not use
his position to threaten congress.
1t has been urged again and again

SOLAR ECLIPSE GIVES
OPPORTUNITY TO TEST
THEORY OF EINSTEIN

CHICAGO, H., Sept New tests
of the validity of Einsteins theory of
relatively will be possible with the
total solar eclipse on Sept. Fl, which
will darken the eastern coast OF Al
RIGA, Australia and a number OF South
Pacific islands, according to Prof. Ed
win B. Frost of the University OF Chi
cage and director of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory.
The theory requires, he said, that
the rays of light from a distant star
should be bent out of their straight
path when they pass within the fleld
of attraction of a great body like the
sun. But stars whose light passes
close to the rim of the blazing sun
cannot be photographed except on
these rare occasions when the moon
obscures the sun.
Stars Serve AS Tests.
The path of the sun, in its annual
sweep around the sky, is dotted with
many stars which would serve for the
test, but only those can be used which
nearly Craze the sun at the moment OF
eclipse, Prof. Frost said.
| Accordingly, a photograph is made
| of these stars at a time of the year
when the sun is in different part Of
the sky. On such photographs, taken
at night with the same instrument that
is used at the eclipse, the distance:
! between the critical stars are meas
ured to the ten-thousandth Of an inch
At the moment of the eclipse these
stars will lie on opposite sides of the
sun. Hence, when this photograph i!
measured, the distances between thu
corresponding stars should be slight!
greater than on the plates taken SOM
weeks before or after the eclipse, ant
which were not disturbed by the sum-
presence, according to Prof Frost.
