Since King George's death the Royal Standard has been flying over St. James's Palace while the new King is in residence there. The old flag- staff became overstrained in rough weather, and a now and more massive structure is shown being erected to take its place. Until this year the Royal Standard had not flown over St. James's Palace for ninety-nine years.

Here's how the San Francisco skyline looks if you limit your gaze to the halfway point between the city and Yerba Buena Island. Construction of the suspension bridge section of the great San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is such a massive scato that instead of building one bridge, it was necessary to build two bridges in tandem-each 4,530 feet long. The western span presents an almost finished appearance with trusses comprising the two steel decks already in place. This view overlooking San Francisco shows the bridge from the Embarcadero to the anchorago in the middle of the bay.
