Ever since he told a convention of physiologists at Stockholm (TIME, Aug. 16) that he had replaced the ovaries of Nora, mature chimpanzee, with a woman's ovaries, and then succeeded in; impregnating her with human sperms by artificial means, Dr. Serge Voronoff of Paris has been the subject of much lay and scientific speculation. Nora's baby, biologically human, but prenatally an ape, was to be born in January. In August she was reported "progressing normally." Then no more bulletins . . . until last week.

Officiating Socialist. At the dais ordinarily occupied by the Throne stood that arch-Socialist Carl Lindhagan, Mayor of Stockholm, famous because he introduces before the Swedish Parliament every year a bill to abolish the Monarchy. He it was whom astute King Gustaf had chosen to perform the civil marriage of Astrid and Leopold. Hereafter when Mayor Lindhagan rises to present his bill there may well ensue jeers. Last week he testily remarked before the ceremony: "Of course I have no objection to uniting in marriage any two young people who appear to love each other." As the royal pair stood...
