DIR. FINSEN'S CURE
Wonderful Results Are Obtained and
His Methods Are Approved.


An interesting account of the Finsen
Medical Light institute at Copenhagen,
Denmark, is obtained from DR.. A. F.
Christian of Cambridge, who has been
at that institute this summer study
Ing the Finsen ray. It was in this in
stitute that DR.. Niels r. Finsen demon
strated the value Of the ray of light
which bears his name. The hospital
is supported by state and municipal al
lowances, private donations and the
fees of those who can afford to pay for
the treatment. Probably four among
ten patients receive treatment free.
Finsen is a physician and a scien-
list. Work has been a pleasure to
him, and he labored without thought
of pecuniary considerations till his
strength was gone and his health i'm
paired. DR.. Christian says that Fin
sen to-day is emaciated. and weak, suf-
fering from a disease that has neces-
STATED his retirement from active par
ticipation In the medical work of the
hospital, but his assistants are trained
to carry out his methods to perfection.
When he visits the institution it is for
brief periods only. Absolute rest for
some months and a carefully selected
diet were regarded as necessary to
restore his health. He is hopeful of
once more being able to take up his
research work in the laboratory.

SCANDINAVIA INTERESTED
Her Best Customer, She Thinks, Needs
-. - Careful Watching. -.

Scandinavia is following with in
tense interest the development of the
fiscal struggle in Great Britain for the
exports Of Sweden, Norway and Den
mark are chiefly to the British Isles.
England is, in particular, the best Gus
toner Of Denmark. Sixty per cent Of
all Danish products go to England,
while 43 per cent Of all the products
of both Sweden and Norway also go
there. Denmark's import tariff on in
dustrial products is low and Danish
agricultural produce Is Of class that
meets with much favor in Great Brit
ain. Denmark therefore hopes much
from British self interest and does not
fear overmuch colonial competition.
Furthermore, the Danish government
Is willing to adapt its tariff to British
conditions. ... :,- -.s' ri
Sweden and Norway will probably
develop a preferential tariff system to
hold the British market. All three are
interested in free navigation, especially
Norway, which does large business
with British. colonies. The three
countries are ready to make consid-
cradle concessions to retain the British
market.

Fishers Are Happy.

Good catches are reported all along the
Norwegian coast this season, and the con-
ditions among the fisher folk are greatly
improved: Not only are the catches
larger, but the quality Of fish is uniformly
good and the prices on all kinds generally
satisfactory. Up to Sept. rs the total
haul Of herring reached 100000 barrels,
corresponding period Of last year.
The mackerel catch has been somewhat
lighter than last year, but the fishers are
meeting with better success and expect
to improve on last year The cod fish
cries yield much better than last year.

A Shake In Scandinavia.

Ostergotland, in Sweden, had a little
earthquake Sept. 10. Houses shook in
Skentngen and also in Vadstena and Mo-

Eidsvold, Norway, heavy sounds, appar-
entity coming from the interior Of the
earth, were heard for several days, greatly
alarming the people,

SWEDISH COPPER
Large Mining District Was Recently
II Opened in NOrrbOtten.

Extensive copper deposits exist in
Norrbotten, Sweden, and in a short
time mining will be carried on by sew
eral companies which are already or
ganized. The field is about four miles
long and one mile vide and a rough
estimate by biologists places the
amount of ore at 100000 tons.
About 200 claims have been filed or
and the output is expected to become
very large. The ore yields from 10 tc
80 per cent of copper and can be most
profitably converted.

Per Capita Value OF Citizens.
ISt. Adams, Messenger

Equality of all citizens before the law,
is the boosted cornerstone of our Ameri-
can liberties, is it not? And yet, for all
that It makes a great difference to
Vermont man whereabouts in the state
he may reside, because he may lawfully
exercise more power in the determine
ton of the kind and character OF state
laws, for instance, by living as a
private citizen in one town than he
can by living as private
citizen in another If he lives in Glas-
tenbury, he and only ten other men to-
gether can have just as much of voice
in the general assembly as though he lived
in St Adams, but fifteen hundred men In
St. Adams all together have no more OF
voice than these eleven men in Glasten-
bury. Thus IN Glastonbury every private
citizen has a once eleventh interest in the
vote in the house of representatives
while the private citizen in ST. Adams
has only a one-fifteenth hundredth in
terest 1t is worth thinking about, this
theory of the equality of all citizens be-
fore the law, especially the way we dodge
1t here in Vermont.
