A How the Lives of King Edward and © Royal Visitors are Sate- guarded. The visit of King Manuel of Por- tngal at Windsor Castle racently was the cause of considerable quiet energy. at Beotland «Yard, . and pown anarchists were watched. for at the ports, and those whose pres: ones was known in this country weve shadowed, says = the London Daily Mail. The precautions; how- ever; taken for the safety of King Edward 'are so nearly perfect that little remains to be done in the ac- fual guardianship of Windsor Cas- tle. For' an unauthorized person to. gain an entrance into ono of the King's palaces is almost an impos- sibility. - Tt has been 'done, but the number of times could be almest counted on the fingers of a hand. Within the walls of Windsor: Cas- tlc are treaunres of priceless valuo, and even if tho court is not in' re- sidence 'no one can 'enter without his 'presence beiig known to the police; Although the royal residences are 80 ~well guarded -at all times the guord is strongest when a foreign sovereign pays a state visit' to this country. © Then almost cvery other man is a. detective within a mile or two of Windsor Castle, and no one who is not well known has the slightest chance of getting within easy reach of the royal apartments. TWO SENTRIES ON DUTY. | | When the King is in residence at ry easy to spensible + : Windsor the guards are doubled.- Instead of one man marching up and down with bayonet fixed he- tween sentry box ard sentry box rg are two, so Then there are" Metropolitan po: cepien on duty at each gateway, ol 88 Joyal gatekespers in ro Phd 0 1 in elothes and Ghirka, have | toyal' apartments with his bayone on the end of his vifie, but he was quickly found out and 'punished. A night watchman goes on duty inside the castle at Windsor every night and comes: off in the mom: g.. In case of fire he would at once give the alarm and in a very few minutes the royal firemen and castle guard would be on the spot and' all entrances would he closed and guarded. . The. same system prevails. at the chief of the other royal residences. There used to be sentries at Frog- more in the early part of the last century, but there are none now. Around the Royal Mausoleum at" Frogmore, where Queen Victoria's remains' repose, the = Metropolitan police are on duty all through the twenty-four hours. DUTIES OF GUARDS. The penalty for a soldier failing to perform his duty when on guard outside royal residences is so 'Se- vere that there are very few cases indeed on record of men having ta be taken off their posts. v Two hours on and four hours off duty are the alloted times in the twenty-four hours round, and men are very seldom discovered asleep, When the court isin. residence at the chief royal palaces the strain .' of duty is very severe at times. 4 The royal household police,, of course take turns at night and day duty. and when important Funes tions are on they have a very busy time. In addition to the soldiers, po: lice and" detectives there are, of course, the royal servants and lodge keepers, who know a stranger at once. Even if a visitor got through the strong cordon around | royal resi- dences he would still have to face the six-foot footmen in scarlet an gold 'who sit just inside the = chie entrances. - Near at their hand is a telephone, and if they have the least suspicion of a visitor the po- lice are acquainted in a trice. A stranger would have the greats: est difficulty, even if he success fully 'eluded the hall porter, : to find his way about Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. -------- ii, WON'T SEE COMET FOR YEARS The Sun Will Interfere With Early Observations.
