King Gustaf v of Sweden, suf-
fering from chronic bronchial ca
tarrh for several years, died Sun
day, October 20, at the age of
81. Succeeded by his son, Gustaf
vi Adolf, who will be 6S this
month, King Gustaf V was the
worlds oldest living monarch and
reigned the longest-43 years
of any king in Swedish history.
Over 100000. people were on
hand to see the royal coffin
brought from the Drottningholm
castle to Stockholm castle in
Stockholm.
New spapers throughout the
Northwest, particularly In Seattle,
featured the news of the kings
death, prominently on first pages,
partly in due respect to the large
Scandinavian and Swedish pOpu-
latiOns. A memorial service for
the king was held in Seattle
Gethsemane Lutheran Church last
dreds of Swedish-Americans and
others, headed by Swedish Consul
War Lundequist. The Swedish
Club of Seattle sent telegram
to King Gustaf vi, wishing him
long and happy reign.
King Without Bodyguard
The reign of King Gustaf V,
who moved freely among his peo-
pie and never had bodyguard,
was marked by peaceful relations
with all other nations, maintained
in two World Wars. 1t was also
an era OF steady industrial ex-
pansion and deep-going social re-
forms, which greatly raised the
living standard of the Swedish
people. During this period the king
as chief executive surrendered his
constitutional prerogatives, but by
yielding gracefully he was able
to maintain the prestige of his
throne. Instead of governing by
the grace of God" he became "the
unofficial adviser to his official
councillors. meaning the cabinet.
At the time of his ascension, he
gave evidence of his democratic
nature by succeeding in having
the traditional coronation cere-
mony omitted thus breaking an old
Swedish tradition. King Gustaf
v was particularly well known as
q tennis player. He played the
game until two years ago, at the
age of 90.
New King Prepared
Gustav vi, Swedens new king,
comes to the throne fully prepared
to assume the duties of his high
office. DUTY above all' is his
motto.
Because of the long life of his
father, King Gustav V, whose
royal tasks he shared, the new

Budget Problems
On blackboard in the city hall

every dollar is spent on the
schools, including the school bud

goes for the retirement of city
bonds leaving twenty cents for
the operation and maintenance of
all other city facilities. 1t must
take careful budgeting to operate
the city. No wonder the city can't
afford garbage pick up, a COM
plete sewage system or expansion
of the city library. Repairing the
city streets must take as careful
planning by the city as the pur-

SuperfIuid, 9TH State of Matter, Described

all the atoms are so cold they

other hand there is essentially no
attraction between them so that
they remain in a liquid rather

Its most unusual property is its
strange ability to transmit heat.

quite slow. In the strange form
Of helium, however. it moves sew

In any other substance on earth.
In q normal fluid or a metal,
DR.. Pelham said, heat flows from
hot to cold. In the superfiuid it
can flow only from cold tc hot.
The super-cooled helium. the
Standards Bureau experiments
have determined, actually consists
of both normal and super fluid
mixed together.
The application of heat to some
part Of the mixture results in a
two-way migration of the super
fluid and the normal helium
atoms. This streaming of the
two fluids through each other
the heat being transferred by
atoms of the normal fluid, offers
an adequate explanation for the
phenomenon. DR.. Pelham believes.
Previously, it was explained.
there has only been a theoretical
concept of this fourth state of

matter. Some such assumption
has been necessary to explain the
strange properties of the liquid.
The bureau experiments. in which
the flow of heat is measured by an
entirely new technique. provide
definite evidence of its actual
existence.
Helium, first discovered in the
sun and later in the earth's at
mosphere, changes from a gas to
liquid at 7.6 degrees Fahrenheit
above absolute zero. This lioui-
fication was first accomplished at
the Standards Bureau about 20
years ago and since then has be-
come almost matter Of routine.
At this temperature, however. 1t
remains an ordinary liquid. Only
when the temperature is reduced
nearly four degrees do the almost
supernatural properties make their
appearance.
In another report to the Ameri-
can Physical Socitey. bureau
physicists described looking into
metals with the electron micro
scope and finding there magnets
so small that their existence could
be detected by no other means.
These magnets, according to the
report by L. A. Marion, j. A.
Simpson and A. Van Bronkhorst
of the bureau staff. consist Of tiny
groups of atoms in iron, steel and
cobalt around which are mag
netic fields. This is q hitherto
unSuspected property of matter.

A superfiuid - essentially a
fourth estate of matter was
described to the American Phys
ical Society here today by q
Bureau of Standards physicist.
This is liquid helium at tenn
perature below 39 degrees
Fahrenheit above absolute zero,
or 1896 Fahrenheit. which rep
resents the extreme of cold that
can be attained anywhere in the
universe.
Some of its properties, which
seem to defy ordinary laws of ma
ture, have been known for several
years. Among these are its abil-
ity to transmit heat with the speed
of sound and with a similar wave
motion. This is known as second
sound" Experiments in this by
