Dr. George Brandes, the great in
| tellectual colossus of Scandinavia,
cannot believe in personal God be-
cause such a conception is illogical.
To this, Prof j. P. Kristensen-Ra
ders, of the Ollerup peoples high
school, makes the remark that some
men have believed in a living, person
al God though they were supposed to
be fairly well equipped intellectually,

Those cracks in the walls of the
new riksdag building. The much
discussed cracks in the new riksdag
building have been carefully exam
ined by three experts appointed by
the building committee, and their re-
port is public property. The cracks
are by no means serious, and they
are not due to an uneven settling of
the foundation. They may have been
caused by an uneven temperature in
ture, and the committee holds that

the solidity Of the walls.
| And so Uncle Sam gets them. The
consul general of Sweden and Nor
way at Valparaiso warns his country
men against coming to Chile, South
America. The government is honest
ly endeavoring to aid Scandinavian
emigrants, but the officials whose du-
