REVOLT "ENDS IN CORONATION.
TALE OF THE THRONE OF ABYSSINIA.
'An article in the London periodical East Africa puts in-s now light the events which led up to the recent coronation of the Be gent Ras Tafari as Negus (King) of Abvasinia.
Below are extracts from the article;
+
"It appears that a group of dis. gruntled officers atempted to over throw and capture the Regent, who is also the heir to the throne.
To gain support they are known to have informed the Queen-who has been regarded as opposed to the Regent's progressive Ideas that he had publicly pressed his dislike of tho ex- leting regime, under which he (Ras Tafari) did all the work, while the Queen reigned supreme,
"The conspirators are reported to have added that the Regent intend- ed to dethrone and arrest the Queen, To Capture the Prince Regent.
"Presumably convinced that their designs would not be viewed with disfavour by the Queen, the con- spirators then plotted to capture the Ras when he was not accompanied by his guards.
"In some way news of the plot reached the Regent, who ordered the arrest of the officer chiefly con- cerned in the conspiracy.
It is added that Ras Tafari sent for other Implicated officers singly, and meanwhile had armoured cara innd machine guns assembled near
his residence.
"One of the officers who perceived this is said to have threatened the Ras with murder if they were fired upon or arrested, whereupon the Revent is alleged to have declared that he had no personal designs on the throne.
"That night special, police were picketed near the foreign Legations for their protection in ease of dan-
ker.
"Many arrests were made, and after an anxious night the mutiny was broken.
Then the Queen issued a proclama- tion affirming her entire faith b the Regent, whose courage and wis dom in handling a very precarious altuation are acclaimed in the capi- tal."
Though publishing these details with all reserve. East Africa ascribes them to a usually very .well-informed source."
THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS.
DR. HOCHE'S CRITICISM OF
FRAUD.
Vienna, Oct. 11. Up to the seventieth birthday of Professor Sigmund Freud, three years ago, the International Pay- choanalytical "Verlag" in Vienna had published ten volumes of his work. Now an eleventh volumo has, been issued, containing a number of new esanys. It is in- iended to issue a complementary! volume at some future dato.
A little book, "On Sleep and Dream," has just been published by Dr. A. Hoche, of the Freiburg University, who is convinced that Freud makes a fundamental mis- take in relying on reports of dreams delivered to him several hours or even half a day after the dream. Hoche contends that such reports nearly always infer considerably from the netual dream. Only
written down immediately, after. awaking ure, he contends, reliable; later on they become invention on which no scientifle conclusions can be based. Professor Hoche strongly objects to Freud's way of connecting most dreams with kex.
dreams
Hocho's little book contains many new points on the dreams of scientists and artists, who, during their sleep, were inspired with some happy inspiration.
"DON'T NAG.”
ARCHBISHOP'S ADVICE TO CLERGYMEN'S WIVES.
"I hope that the day is coming when the wife of a cleryman wili not be in any way a sort of parish hack," said the Archbishop of York In a farewell address to clergymed and their wives at Hull,
Dr. Lang, who is a bachelor, suc ceeds Dr. Randall Davidson as Archbishop of Canterbury next month.
Ho said he had his own opinion da to the value of a wife to an arch- blahop. He had had much to do with tho-choosing of clergymen, but perhaps unfortunately-he had had nothing to do with the choosing of their wives. He added: "Sometimes the work of a clergy- is affected by unnecessary married man mannerisms. No should have mannerisms. Their wives should be able to correct them. "Deal with them gently and sympathetically, but firmly put them in their place.
