They also gave a movie on mounitain if e, although what earthly (or heavenly) connection it bad with astroilomy I couldn't see; it aýppears, that the,,plattarium is also a movie bouse.

Kaiser's palace, and Sans Souci, %valked througlh the gardens. and hiad dinner ini a good, but expelse restaui- rant and 'coffee' consisting of cocoâ at. a wayside inn." The boys took in an opera and attend- cd quantities of inuseums. in which, Paul did prelimninary work for bis two mnonths. at Freiburg. Their visit to the oh- servatory was especially interesting.
