1t is hard for men to part with their poor bodies
The sncents had them mUmmified that they might last
Moderns build for their bodies fine mausoleums with
money they can no longer spend for gayer things
Some decide TO be burned and order their ashes
scattered appropriately Others shudder at the thought
Of fire for their bodies.
II Lloyd Phoenix had lived so years later he would
have had his ashes scattered six miles up in the air. in
the path of future air yacht races.

From the ST. Thomas Bulletin we CLEAN
that the death of the Dcwager. Queen
Louise of Denmark, relict of Fredprik
VIII, was advised via the liner Meqantic.
Queen Louise Josephine Eugene, prin-
cess of Norway and Sweden, was born
October 81, 1851, married Prince Freder-
TX of Denmark or July %. 1869, and is
the mo her OF the present ruler of Den
mark, Christian x, also of King Haakon
of Norway, besides five other sons and
daughters. The Queen had for years
been conspicuous 10 charitable activity
in these islands, and spent considerably
of her W means in the upkeep of hos
pital work in St. Croix and st. Thomas.
She was the founder of the home in this
town known as the Queen Louise Home
for Sick and Neglected Babies. We
chronicle with regret the loss of this
good friend of our small islands.

ST. Thomas News.

Some of our town folks had the plea
sure OF hearing a professional singer and
pianist aboard the tourist steamer Cali
fornia" last night. At the request of
one of the party from ashore this gentle
man who had been singing already dur
ing the day kindly consented to render
a few songs, which was indeed a great
treat. The talented gentleman we IN
derstand is engaged as a singer for the
trip out. At one time he sung a soprano
initiating perfectly the soft sweet voice
of the lady, at another time a rich sweet
baritone. The applause by the large
number of hearers brought him back
again with an English sentimental song
that will be remembered for a quite a
while.
Speaking to many musicians among
the tourists about this fine singer we
were told that he was considered to be
, 1926-03-25

first class. and that he was an English
man.
We must say that seldom we are given
the pleasure Of hearing such a voice
quite apart from the ordinary.
The courtesy extended visitors by the
passengers as we'll as crew is worthy
of special mention. The Bulletin March

The time Of a great spot maximum"
is drawing near on the san, and the
earth is aware of it in all her magnetic
nerves.
Now and then the aurora borealis
mysteriOusly fushes and quivers 10 the
northern sky; now and then strange,
wandering currents shoot through the
telegraph wires, or grip the cables like
interrupted heart beats.
And coincidently the sun shows on his
white hot face the black marks, like
splattered bullets, which betoken the
fury of the outbreak.
Act on Weather.
There are those who believe that the
violent scenes on the sun are repeated in
the fierce VagarieS of the weather on
the earth; that when the sun lab0rs.
the oceans are swept with unparalleled
tempests, the magnetic elements of the
whole earth are upset, alternate biz
yards and floods as5ai the continents,
tOrnadOes rage in their zones, and ever
the pent up forces Of volcanoes and
earthquake centres mere easily break
out!
Scientific investigation at least leaves
no doubt that some of the effects of
these periodical outbreaks on the sun
are electro Numerically reverberated to
the earth. No phenomena visible to US
among the celestial bodies are SO closely
linked with our immediate Welfare as
are the sunspots, or the forces that un.
derlie them.
To watch them is to behold a specfa-
Gle OF almost unthinkable grandeur pro-
dQced by almost unreasonable energy.
The sun is a globe 1874. coo miles in dia-
meter. It's disk covers a circle including
about 584, 900, 900, 600 square miles.
That is what you see before you when
you look at the suns face through a
black g~lass-fve hundred and eighty.

The sIoop Trying and Trust from ST.

with a cargo OF bananas. and a lively

reasonable limits. AS usual when a

Uttered with offaI and for days we shall

WORKERS UNITE IN SONG

"Workers of the world, unite-in song" is the paraphrased Marxian slogan under which there has been organized a Workers Singing International with headquarters in Berlin.
 All over Europe workers movements have flourishing singing societies as part of their propaganda work. The new International is to unite them all in one organization, the purpose of which is "'the reconciliation of peoples through the publication of choruses, folksongs and songs of combat that are filled with the socialist spirit of brotherly love-"
 Among the countries represented in the Singing International are Germany, Belgium, Great Britain, Austria, Denmark, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Alsace Lorraine

SAILOR SAW THE QUEEN

Arthur Fillmore, the sailor who awoke one morning recently in the Buckingham Palace gardens, near the kings apartments, was booked at Scotland yard in a special book kept for suspects who have been held for annoying royalty the most famous of whom was Boy Jones who gained peep at Queen Victoria sitting on the throne.
 Jones, son of a tailor, in 1842 was first caught asleep on sofa next 10 the queens bedroom. He explained that he got in by the simple method of climbing 8 wall and stepping through a French window. He had been in the palace three days, helped himself to eat ables, and not only had seen the queen on the throne but his sleep had been disturbed by the crying of the baby princess royal.
 After term in house of correction, Jones again returned to the palace. The third time the young man was apprehended there the au- thorties decided to bundle him off to sea, and that was the last London ever saw of him.

PRAISES [. S. MUSIC LOVERS

Jacques Thibaut, violinist, has returned from his last American tour with high opinion of American taste in music compared with IS years ago. It is no longer possible, he says to offer a program of mediocre works. He, like Messager. tells the French they know nothing of jazz and that in condemnng it they condemn a thing they have not really heard.
 "The reputation of the American as a lover of no music but jazz" he says, ''is as false as such generalizatons always are. But don't scoff at jazz. We in France don't know what 1t really is, we judge by inferior specimens.
 'rhe day l arrived in New York, I heard Paul Whtemans orchestra interpret "Circus," q work specially written for him by a great symph onist. Deems Taylor. You cannot imag- inc what new and exquisite sounds it gave Its orchestration is admirable. Like every thing done with taste and entrusted to great artists, it has its value.
 NO! No. Jazz is art for which works that will last can be written"

Paris, July 10--Fomer Premier Painleve minister of in the ninth Briand cabinet has long been known the most absent minded politician in France But his crown ing achievement has consisted in forgetting to stand up when the "Marseillaise," was played, and in the presence of the president of the republic!
