A special cable dispatch to an American newspaper says : —The health of the Prince of Wales is becoming more and more a matter of anxiety to the King and Queen. Before going to camp with the Oxford Cadet Corps last month the Prince was medically examined with the rest of the corps, and he was among the six declared unfit for training. The Prince has been specially warn ed against the danger of chill, as it is feared that a bad chill would de velop chest complaint and make him an invalid for a considerable time, if not for life. The King’s medical ad visers have constantly recommended a long sea voyage for the Prince, and the intention has been to send hini on a cruise to Australia. Early in the year details of the tour to Australia and Canada were planned for the autumn. Political reasons also rendered a -visit by the Prince to the colonies desirable, but his detestation of the sea seems likely to prevent the materialisation of these plans.
