News of the Week

THE best news we have hid since the beginning of the King's illness was published on Tuesday, when it was stated that His Majesty would-soon-be moved to the sea. The house of Sir Arthur du Cro, near Bognor, has beea placed at His Majesty's disposal. The King's appetite has Unproved, and the doctors are agreed in believing that the-sea air will greatly help towards his recovery. It cannot fairly be said, however, that the stage usually described as convalescenCe has been reached; as there has been no appreciable increase in weight. The nation will earnestly hope that purer air and more sunshine will have ti 6 results which the doctors anticipate.
