THE MARCH OF ST. PAUL’S
Londoners received massive tidings recently: S'ft- Paul’s is gliding down Ludgate Hill toward Fleet Street. Its rate of travel: an inch a century. The Rev. Sidney Arthur Alexandei', the Cathedral’s venerable Canon and treasurer, broke the . news that St. Paul’s had shifted one-third of an inch during his 36 years in office. Noting this item, the Daily Express famed “Beachcomber” observed: ‘St. Paul’s Cathedral is bitten by the fashionable bug of perpetual fidgeting, and is unable to remain still any longer. It is due to crash into the Daily Express building in February 236-481 A.D. unless the Daily Express, feeling itself pursued,' takes to its heels and crawls up the Strand.
