THE KING OF oovRE MOUNTAIN,

Henrik Ibsen has weirdly described
the old king of the Dovrefjeld, and an
old folk song, Anglicised by Rasmus B.
Anderson, runs thus:
On Dovrefjeld in Norway lay the heroes free
from care;
But who our runes shall carry over when our
selves not may?
The king of the mountains is char
scter that inspires all Norwegian youths
with awe.

ERICSSON AND HIS couNTRYMEN.

Thirty years ago but a few thousand
Scandinavians here and there had found
homes in the United States, principally
in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The
war, then in its first red heat, tempted
many Of these to the ti6ld of battle, and
not few fell fighting for the integrity
Of the Union. After the war large
wave Of immigration flowed from the
North sea and added this hardy race to
the pioneers of the new northwest. Wis
consin, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas
and Nebraska contain proportion Of
from one-fourth to one-third of Norwe-
gians, Swedes and Danes, whose pros
perity in the new land has been a stand
ing invitation that with Outstretched
arm extends across the Atlantic and
bids more to come. The stream of pop
ulation from 1.-THE land of the midnight
sum-" as travellers have described it by
hyperbole, has not all been to the west,
but our great cities-New York, Brook
lyn, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago
have absorbed some Of the best of the
"viking blood" Men eminent in letters,
musical art, invention have been ac-
corded front rank-the happy result OF
our democratic institutions.
Among these, America will with ever
grateful cordiality assign the first place
of honor to the name of John Ericsson,
the inventor of the ironclad battle ship.
Every schoolboy and girl in America
is familiar with the inventors fame, and
our government has honored the land Of
his birth by conveying the dust of the

North Wales-and asked them to go
to the new, fertile and ever blooming
land, which he had found uninhabited.
The chronicle proceeds that he took
men and women in mary ships and re-
turned to the western world, subse-
quently coming to North Wales for
more colonis,s. This quaint history says,
1T appeareth by Francis Loues that in
Acusanus and other places the people
honored the crosse, whereby it may be
gathered that Christians had been there
before the Spaniards." Powell, who ed
hed the ancient records of Wales in a
book printed in the reign of Elizabeth,
and now in the British Museum library,
where the writer had access to it, rea-
sons that the land must have been Mex
leo and the people found the Montezuma
race. He also refers to the fact that
British words are found in that country,
such as "Gwrando," hearken; Land of
Correoso, Cape Bryton, River Gwyn-
dor, White Rock of Pengwyn-Welsh
names, relics Of the colonization.
Whether subsequent discoveries had ac-
cess to these records is a question inca
pable of demonstration.

For home he is bringing his loveliest prize;
He sees in her eyes reflected
The hopes Of his life perfected.
The peasantry of the snowcapped
Lofoten mountains, whose spires pierce
the glistening sheen with the spears of
the frost giants, are the same in personal
traits as their cousinsNon the vastly prai-
ries of the northwest, Upon their faces
are written the lines Of toll, the anxious
cares of that struggle for survival of
which we read in The Younger Edda"-
though softened with humor From the
gorges and wales they are transplanted
to the fertile fields of $the Dakotas, and
there they live like princes. From ten
ants they are transformed into American
lords of the fief. They become leaders
of men-masters of arts.

NORSE-AMERlCAN MUSICIANS.

Last July the United Scandinavian
Singers of America held their third an
nual singing festival in the Coliseum at
Minneapolis, where were brought to-
gether a thoroughly representative as
sembly of the best blood of Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, now part of this
great composite nation. All trades, pro-
fessions and vocations were represented
in the grand orchestral harmony and the
chorus of 600 voices which filled the
vast amphitheater with music.
If there can ever be successor to Ole
Bull with the violin he was there in the
person of A. G. Yttrup, of Chicago.
Yttrup is Dane born in Jylland.
Denmark, June 2S, 1856. From the
Royal Danish Musical conservatory, at
Copenhagen, he came forth with the
degree excellent, and he has followed
this chosen art with passion akin to
devotion. He sat under the inspiring
tones evoked by Nils w. Gade, the

meet in social harmony, make merry,
gng the old mountain songs, recount the
tales OF the northland as handed down
through the generations from the vi
kings and vow anew fealty to the free
Institutions of this land, whose consti-
tution is il snany respects similar to
that adopted at Eidsvold, Norway, May
| il. 1914.
These festivities are as eagerly joined
I by Swedes and Danes as by Norwegians.
While tie compact sworn to at Eidsvold
was il effect declaration of independ-
GOO rs against the royal authority OF
Sweden, it was not political secession.
1t partook more Of the character of that
grea: movement Of The English barons
who wrested from King John, at Run
a.yms,ie, the British Magma Charta, the
foundation of English and American
liberty. Thus the revolution in Norway
|retounded to the advantage of all Scan
tlnsTia in the complete recognition of
local self government, and the day is in
|telligently observed in this spirit by all
branches of the Scandinavian race in
America.
Coupled with rejoicing for the nation
a freedom in the old land is the recol-
lection of these people of their early
homes, the land of their fathers, the
Vales and mountains, the lakes and seas
where they spent their childhood. This
s noble sentiment. beautifully ex-
pressed in poesy by Johan N. Brnn and
translated by William S. Walker:
10 NORWAY, MOTHER OF THE BRAVE.
ToNorway, mother of the brave,
We crown the cup of pleasure.
And dream our freedom come again,
And grasp the vanished treasure.
When once the mighty tasks begun,
The glorious race is swift to run.
IoNorway, mother of the brave,
We crown the cup of pleasure
One glass to faith and friendship flows,
one to Norwegia's daughters.
Drink each the girl his heart adores,
And shame on him who falters-
Shame on the wretch who welcomes chains,
And women, wine and song disdains!
one glass to faith and friendship flows,
One to Norwegia's daughters.
Then drink to Norway's hills sublime,
Rocks, SHOWS and glens profound;
success" her thousand echoes cry
And thank us with the sound.
oId Doore mingles with our glee
And joins our shouts with three times
three.
Then drink to Norway's hills sublime,
Rocks, SHOWS and glens profoundl

Two years later Left and his brother

IshlnS homes. The "Skroelings." or
INDIANS, attacked them and killed Thor

was Snorre Karlsefne.

This led to further discoveries by the

tutors. He has the ''touch of the van
ished hand" the genius of master,
transmigrated, if the Pythagorean faith
is true.
At the same festival was heard the
greatest American contralto, Miss Aagot
Lunde. native of Christiania, but now
resident of Boston, where she is con-
stantly engaged. Miss Lunde is one of
family Of eleven, all born musicians.
She sang in the great Liszt festival while
pursuing her studies at Dresden, and re-
ceived the encomiums of that great mas
ter, since justified by her triumphs.
1t was the remark Of Mile Augusta
Ohrstrom, the Swedish prima donna, on
her recent American tour, that Scandi-
navian voices were crystalline. Purity
of tone, a clearness of expression like the
tinkle Of a silver bell in cold, calm
frosty morning--such are characteristics
of Norwegian sopranos. Nine. Kathinka
Paulson- White, Of Boston, is native of
Christiania. When but three years old
she gave evidence of that musical genius
that now enraptures continent. She
studied at Berlin and Paris, where she
met and married Allan IT, White. With
out doubt she is among the few that fol-
low in the flights of Nilsson. She is a
sister of Axel Paulson, the champion
skater.

departed under the stars and stripes
across the wide ocean. The name of
Ericsson is among the imperishable.
The vikiSgs of the olden days, who car
rfed the sword to all maritime Europe,
have left no record but that of the folk
songs. But Ericsson's dark ship has made
itself known throughout the civilized
world. 1t is written in the history of
the greatest nation on earth.
The Norwegian from the dawn of his
tory has been mariner. Norway has
always maintained great shipping in
terests. Even in the dim old time she
had powerful navy, the memory Of
which is embalmed in the national air:
OLAF TRYGvASON.
Spreading sails DER the North sea speed
High on deck stands at dawn, indeed
Erling Skalgson, from Sole.
Spying DER the sea toward Denmark,
Wherefore comes not Olaf Trygvason9
Six-and-fifty the dragons are,
Sails are all furl'd.
Toward Denmark stare sun scorched men, then
rises:
Where stays the Kings Long Serpent?
Wherefore Gsmes not Olaf Trygvason?
And similarly the poet Ivan Aasen has
written, as translated by Rasmus B.
Anderson:
Strong the rocks by the North seas blue waters
The proud Sorseman his homestead has
found;
There do he and his sons and his daughters
Claim allodial right to the ground
To be up and to do is his glory,
And he has to be sturdy and strong;
But tits pleasure to hear the old story
OF the deeds that are treasured in song
The scene of the poem is laid at Rabel-
voog-where there are large cod fisheries
and the harbor bristles with the masts
of the ships of commerce, which carry
the Norwegian cross to the ends of the
ocean.

NoRT;4LAND MUSIC AND SONG.

Froln music to worship is but short
step. The sweet voices of Jenny Lind,
Christine Nilsson and Sigrid Arnold
son keep echOing yet through the world
of art. Probably he who did more
than all others to familiarize America
with the musical genius of Norway was
Ole Bull. who at the birth of Norwegian
independence was but four years old.
At the age Of nineteen Ole, with his vio-
lin, went forth to charm the world. AS
the great composer, Edward Grieg, said,
he was the pathbreaker for the music
of Norway. His was the magic wand
that invested the wild and weird folk
songs Of the mountain land with the
witchery of genius. Grand, majestic
wizard of the bow! The thousands of
Americans who saw and heard him can
see him yet and hear the gentle chords
vibrate in their souls.
Our great Longfellow, true poet, pam
theiZed him thus:
Last the Musician, as he stood
lllumined by that fire of wood;
Fair haired, blue eyed, his aspect blithe,
His figure tall and straight and 1.-the,
And every feature o: his face
Revealing his Norwegian race;
radiance, streaming from within,
Around his eyes and forehead beamed;
The Angel with the violin,
Painted by Raphael. he seemed.
-.- lie, lived in that ideal world
Whose language is not speech, but song;
Around him eyermore the thrOng
OF elves and sprites their dances whirled;
The StrOmkarl sang, the cataract hurled
Its headlong waters from the height:
And mingled in the wild delight
The scream of sea birds in their flight,
The rumor of the forest trees,
The plunge of the implacable seas,
The tumult of the wind at night,
Voices of eld, like trumpets blowing,
Old ballads and wild melodies
Through mist and darkness pouring forth
Like Elivagar's river flowing
Out of the glaciers of the North.
Auber Forester, who compiled the
songs of Scandinavia in collaboration
with Rasmus B. Anderson, says these
songs are 'the untrammeled outpour-
ings of the inner lives of the people; an
expression of the peoples character-of
the indomitable will. the dauntless en-
ergy, the deep feeling that are the nat
ural characteristics of the NOrsemen."
Those who have read Bjornsterne
Bjornson's "Brude Slaatten," the Wed
ding March and Kristofer Janson's
"Bergtekno" have learned that weird
tunes, improvisations, in their original
form, inspired by the spirit voices of the
fjords, the mountains, the waterfalls,
the forests and by the orchestral strains
which are actually heard among the
mountain regions, are passed along from
one untutored player or songster to
another, tenderly and solemnly dealt
with, and only altered or modified un-
Willingly by the unconscious touch of in

appointed vice consul two years ago at
Grand Forks. N. D., holding commits
sion from King Oscar. He is son of
G. A. Boyesen, an infantry officer at
Christiania, where Otto was born, April
