legendary interest attaching To these
localities. The old Vikings have left
their memorials on sea and shore. IL
Is delightful to look ut this grand
scenery through the misty perspective
ot romance and mythology. Bu, more
than all is the bcwilching beauty of a
ccasclcss day. which invests with II
subtle chat that which otherwise
might be bleak, bare and chilling. The
fine graia,ions Of color in sky and sea,
on mountain and moor. the atmosphere

there is 10 night, give Il plenaly anu
browning glory To the view.
To tell the attractions Of this town of
Bergen would require book. To the
lover Of antiquity the museum affords
materials for frequent aud prolonged
study; to the lover Of art there Is the
gallery OF paintings by nat We artists:
To the philinthropist the oldest and
largest hospital for lepcrs in Europe Is
full of interest. and to one who studies
social and church lie, the Norwegian
sabbath congr cations and worship
