The projectors want to shut out all
Sunday visitors, and all kinds of music
will be banished as source of dis
turbance to people who desire perfect
rest. Even the cooking and prepare
ton of the food IS to be done in sep
arate building. But the projectors
of the plan think they must have a
bar at the resort, and if the govern
ment of Malmohus Ian does not grant
a license to sell liquor the whole pro-
ject may be abandoned.
The government ordered only 264, 600

still higher price:
The death of S. A. Hedlund deprived
Gothenburg, and Sweden for that mat
ter, of good and very useful citizen.
Mr.. Hedlund was born in 1891, and
since 1s4S he was prominently before
the public as journalist, reformer,
member of the riksdag and alderman
Of Gothenburg. For nearly half a
century he was editor-in-chief of Cote
borg Handles och Sjofartstidning.
The sea pilots of Sweden may point
to a proud record for. the year 1899.
The number of craft piloted by them
was 1862. In 48 cases the vessel was
grounded while the pilot was on
board. But in 81 out of the 48 cases
the captain of vessel declared that the
pilot was not responsible for the acci-
dent. Legal investigations have
proved that in II other cases no blame
attached to the pilot. Eight cases are
still pending. Thus it will be seen
that courts-martial have found the
pilot guilty in only two cases. In
other words, the pilots, in serving on
%, 326 vessels, were criminally respon-
sible for only one grounding. This
record indicates h;gh-degree of eff
ficiency and consciousness.

where King Gustaf Adolf fell Nov 6,

war. Several numbers were played at
the stone, and the band joined the di-
rector in shouting nine hurrahs in
honor of the memory of the famous
Swedish ruler.

In a conflict between non-union men
