ASOLOTION OFFERED
Swedish Newspapers Suggestion as
to Dual Consular Service.
NoRWAY's CLAIMS RECOGNIZED
In the Proposition to Maintain Part
} of Foreign Office at =.
Christtania.

According to one Swedish paper it would
be a very simple matter to arrange the
diplomatic and consular services OF
Sweden and Norway in a manner salts
factory to both nations.
Oster-Gotlan Dagblad comes out nat
footed for recognition OF NorWays ae
mands. On account of the somewhat
prolonged sojourn of the foreign minis
ter in Christiania it has become neces-
sary to remove some Of the archives to
Norway. Why, therefore. asks the paper,
cannot matters be so arranged that a
part Of the foreign Office can be main
tanned permanently in Christiania and
that such records and archives as par
ticularly concern Norway can be kept
in Christiania. Such course would be
very convenient and could in no wise Dc
detrimental to Sweden. Should any OF
the records be needed elsewhere 1t would
be the simplest thing in the world to move
them about. There Is no valid reason
Stockholm. The expense Of the foreign
office could not be materially Increased by
adopting such an arrangement.
AS a further recognition Of Norway
share in the affairs Of the union, says
the paper. the royal family should spend
more time in Christiania and the king
should require foreign governments to
accredit their ambassadors and ministers
to the courts of Stockholm and Chris
tiania.
If some such graceful concessions which
would in no wise. make any important
changes in the present service were made
to Norway, there would be very little
heard from the Norwegians about separate
consular and diplomatic services. Recog-
milton as a sovereign part OF the union
Will satisfy the majority OF them.

\ UNIQUE NEWSPAPER
That of Lars Moeller Printed In
Greenland.

That of Lars Moeller Printed in
Greenland.
A unique newspaper is the Atnagliuti
published at Godthaab on the southwest
coast of Greenland by Lars Moeller. At
first it appeared very irregularly, as no
new edition was printed until the old
had been sold out Now it ''hlls long
felt want and appears regularly every
fortnight.
Years ago, when Nordenskjold made his
trip inland on the great ice cap of south
ern Greenland, he was accompanied by
this Eskimo. Lars Moeller, who confded
to the explorer his ambition to become
a journalist. The young man was clever
with his pencil, and he showed pictures
which he had drawn and that he thought
would interest his compatriots and make
them anxious to learn to read. Nord-
enskjOld was very much impressed with
the Intelligence, industry and ambition
Of the young Eskimo, and on his return
to Sweden he sent him printing press
and supply of ink and paper
In the COURSE Of time Lars, who had be-
come proficient in reading and writing.
acquired the art Of setting type and run
ming the printing press. Then he added
another accomplishment, which was per-
haps the basis of his success as pub
Usher. He studied the methods Of en-
craving on stone, and after awhile he was
able to transfer to stone, roughly, to be
sure. but with some degree of adequacy,
the drawings he made. ~: 90.
The first copies If his paper contained
only pictures, such as scenes Of hunting
in Greenland. and also simple pictures
based upon those made in Europe show
ing some interesting phases of life among
foreign peoples. He found that the pic
lures excited much interest among the
Eskimos.3 =.
Then he began to print some descriptive
matter in the Eskimo language under
the pictures. A considerable number Of
the natives had learned to read and they
would tell their friends what was written
in the descriptions; thus many of the
natives gradually became desirious Of
reading themselves SO that unaided they
might find what the pictures were about
Lars Moeller's little paper probably did
more than any other one agency to stimu-
late desire to learn reading and writing
Several thousands of the natives of south
Greenland can now read the bible and
other books published in Eskimo.
Finally the editor began to include in
his paper items of news with regard to
Greenland affairs and prices of eiderdown,
skins and such other commercial informa-
ton as was Of practical value to the ma
tives. They began to look for the COM
Ing OF their newspaper an event prom
Using both pleasure and profit. So the lit
tie newspaper Of Godthaab now Yields con-
siderable influence in Greenland and is
interesting to many foreigners because
Its letter-press and mechanical features.
including its rather remarkable engrav-
1ngs, are entirely the product of Lars and
his assistants In addition to his newspa-
per he has published a number of little
books in Eskimo which are devoted to
the preservation of Eskimo fables and
traditions.

NOBEL LITERARY PRIZE
Prof. Levertin Criticizes Manner of
Its Award.


Professor Oscar Levertin, through
"syenska Dagblacet,'' delivers caustic
criticism on the manner in which the
Nobel literary prize was awarded.
Awarding the prize to sully Prudhomme
was, he says, meaningless bit Of cere-
money, an exchange of honors between
the Swedish academy and the French
Academy.
Why, he asks, was not the prize given
to one of the four great world writer's
Tolstoi, Ibsen, Bjornson or lola? Tolstoi,
the last of the prophets" mighty, inter
rifed, solemn as the old men of the Bible,
who has worked more for higher ideals?
Ibsen, whose works are classics, whom all
dramatists recognize as master, who
has had a positive influence on the litera-
ture Of the world! Who since Goethe and
Hugo can show such an array Of works
as Ibsen from Brand" to 1.-THE Master
Builder" And Bjornson In whose
lyrics are found the forests and mountains
as in his? Where is there such a rush
Of nature and hope as in his Beyond
Human Power?" Is there a brighter, a
broader or more poetical idealist than he

Prof. Oftedal,s Resignation.

Professor Sven Oftedal, in the current num-
Der Of Folkebladet, explains at some length
>his reasons for resigning from Augsburg sem
mary, in which he has labored for over TWEEN
ty-eight years. First, it is on account of his
age-not that he Is too old to work. but he
has been too long at Augsburg. The Free
church movement is still in its youth, and
younger and stronger men are needed 1t Is
not his intention to stand in any ones way,
little to step aside. Then there Is a personal
reason. 1t is not his desire to become a
burden to the Free church congregations in
his old age, and to forestall such a contln-
gency he intends to withdraw when he is
still able to work and provide for the future.
The constitution provides that theological
professors shall give six months notice be-
