BONN, Germany, october 15.-The
tragic last chapter of the romance Of
the former Kaiser'S sister, 63-year-old
Princess Victoria, opened today in his
toric Schaumburg Palace with auction
of her heritage of heirlooms from nearly
a score of Kings and Queens.
The auction was to raise funds to
meet the debts of her youthful husband,
Alexander Subkoff, Russian waiter and
dancing master, who she married
against the will of her family. They
were estranged later, only after he had
involved her to the extent Of about
$250,000.
Part of the palace which once was
hers has been let to private tenants,
while the princess herself, in disfavor
with others of her family, has been re-
duced to four small rooms and a small
pension at Mehlem- -the-R Rhine.
Among the treasures offered today
were not only articles of great intrinsic
worth, such as silver and crystal services,
and sixteenth and seventeenth century
furniture formerly of the Kaiser Fried
rich Museum at Berlin, but also items of
great historic and sentimental value.

Violin Cures Paralysis.

Medical men of Scotland are much in
terested in the case of young man
living near Glasgow, who claims to have
cured himself of paralysis by the aid of
violin music. From childhood until he
was 81 years old he was so disabled by
a form of paralysis that he could not
walk. AS pastime, he learned to play
the violin, and as he grew in proficiency
he began automatically to keep time to
the lively Scotch airs with his feet.
Gradually this exercise restored strength
to his legs and feet, and now he is as
fit as any athlete, and especially as a
walker and cycliSt.
