Prof. Lieblcin concludes his last article
with the following manly words IN iavof
OF the maintenance Of the Union.
United, shall Sweden and Norway
always occupy prominent position ~
Europe. Protected as they arc by their
natural boundaries they shall probably,
hereafter as hitherto, escape hostile
attacs. They shall be able 20 use, In
peace and rest, their natural resources.
our national life shall develop itself in
dcpcndcnty, and u fortune does favor
us, bloom aud bear fruits, which Will

our national duty, 10 accomplish our

The Public Libraries Of Sweden arc
among the best in Europe. First IN
rank, both as regards appointments,
grants, and number OF volumes, stands
the Royal Library IN Stockholm, which
since 1873 Is housed IN a new building
erected at a cost Of close upon sJo0ooo.
The volumes number 10000 besides
500 Manuscript, many thousand port.
/ iolios containing maps, engraving,
smaller prints, etc. The accession OF
iSg1 was t,tgl foreign works, while IN

universities Of Upsala about ago, 600
volumes) and Lund about 10000 have
also Of late years been granted more

crease, or accessibility, the school Thar
aries In Strengths, Westerns, Skafa,
LinkopinE and Ncxio (ihe old episcopal
town. ought to be mentioned. AT other
colleges tncfc are less important collect
ions Of books. The Popular and Parish
Libraries are developing rapidly, both
Ia the capital and Ia a great number OF
parishes In the country. Private
libraries with family archievcs, often Of a
very respectable age, are to be found In
several provinces, even u, during the
past decades, not a few Of them have
been dispersed. while hardly a single
private library Of any importance has
been founded during the same period.
The navy Of Norway is, as known,
very large, but the quality does not
at all correspond with the quantity.
| According to the English technical
magazine Engineering, Norway annual
loss OF ship Is proportonally five times
as large as that OF Great Britain, and on
that account Norway occupies the very
lowest position among all civilized coun'
tries In regard TO the safety OF is sailors.
A discussion on this subject was held at
meeting OF shp.owuers some time
ago, Congressman Guunar knudscn
was one OF the speakers Of the conven'
ton. He declared, that the high num-
Der OF Norway In the statistics Of ship
wrecking is due to the fact, that her
merchant fleet consists OF too many
poor sailing vessels, which, having been
bought at cheap price from foreign
countries, were old and unit for service
already IS or 20 years ago.
