The agreement was made and the
constitution granted on May II, 1914,
at. which{ date the contemporary his
tory of Norway begins. The ex-
traordinary storthing met in the au-

the fundamental law, and the revised
constitution bears the date of No.
vember 4, 1914. Nearly every peasant
farmer in the old country now has this
fundamental law framed and hung in
the chief room of his house. The
act of union with Sweden is dated
August g., 1915.
The union Of the two states is a
union of the crown alone. That is,
Norway is not under the dominion
of Sweden; the union consists in the
law hat the king of Sweden shall
also be the king of Norway. The Act

The occasion is of the moment, the
reason laid deep in the foundations
of the history of the Scandinavian
peoples.
Norway was anciently governed by
her w kings, and to regain that
estate has been her aspiration ever
since the year 1887, when she lost her
independence, and at which time she
was under the dominion of Denmark.
When the Danes, driven out of Hol-
stein by Bernadotte, (afterward
Charles XIV, concluded peace by the
treaty of Kiel in January of the year
1914, Frederick vi. of Denmark coded
Norway to Sweden. The Norwegians
detested the Swedes' and made an at
tempt to assert their independence
under the conduct of Prince Christian
Frederick, cousin-german and heir of
Frederick vi. Christian Frederick
was proclaimed king of Norway. The
Swedes appeared in force by land
and sea upon the frontiers of
Norway. At the same time the allied
powers from motives of policy op-
posed the Norwegian movement. But
in spite of all this it was not until
Sweden had guaranteed the complete

Of. the Thompson river. a
tributary Of the Fraser in British Co.
lumbia. The Fraser and it's tributaries
are among the greatest salmon rivers
of the world. They r assembled every
year by countless thousands of these
gamey fish. They dart through the
rushing torrents in the narrow shutes
in a mighty stream, never to return
again. They go up the river to spawn,
and the efforts they make to reach a
point as far up the river as possible are
beyond the imagination.
The falls shown here are nine feet
high. Below them in the Thompson
are others of a less height, The fish
to have reached these falls must have
assembled more than 400 feet above the
sea level, and. thousands of them are
found here, all of which came from the
sea. The two pictures given here in
all probability show the same fish.
The smaller picture, showing an I'M

As in America, the government has
three recognized and distinct

and, lastly, the judicial system. In
both. these latter branches Norway
is absolutely independent of her SIS

smaller kingdom is shown by the con-
stitutional clause to the effect that
'the people shall exercise the legis-

to the commercial interests OF the

LEOPARDS AS PETS.
They Exhibit Much Intelligence and
Apparent Affection, But Can
Never. Be Trusted.

Sir Samuel Baker gives some excel
lent advice to those adventurous peo-
pie who iendeavor to make pets ofwild
beasts, especially. tigers and leopards.
Although the cups of leopards are
charming playthings and exhibitmuch
intelligence and apparent affection, is
is a great mistake to adopt suchScom-s
panions, for their hereditary instincts
aregcertain to become developed in full
grown life and lead to grave disaster.
The common domestic cat is some
times uncertain with her claws, and
most people must have observed that
the seats and backs of leather chairs
are wellsmarked by the sharp talons,

their power upon. anything which

MADE NOISE IN U R
Turner Tells How He Was
Cured of a Pernicious and Ir-
~reverent Habit.

Senator Turner, of the Alaskan
Boundary commission, that is soon to
meet in London, said the other day:
"When I go to church I am as silent
as a mouse from the moment I enter
till the moment 1 leave. But I was not
always so. In the little Missouri town
of Edna, where I was brought up, I
was in my boyhood a pretty disorder]y
church-goer.
"But one Sunday, when I was about
thirteen, we had a strange minister to
preach. I sat with four or five other
lads in the e a of the church, and we
made a great deal of noise. The strang-
er put up with us for a long time. Then
he looked at US, and everything be-
came very still.
IL hate he said, 'to reprove any
~disorderly person from the pulpit; in
fact, I make it a rule never to do this.
Let me tell you why. Once a young
man behaved very badly while I was
preaching. I spoke to him and his con-
duct became worse. Again spoke to
him, and again his conduct became
worse Four or five times L paused to
rebuke this young man, and each time
he carried on in a more heathenish
manner than before. At the end ofthe
service they told me Of the mistake I
had made. The young man was a
lunatic.'" Louisville Commercial

watched the bass, the ,pickerel, the

in the Muskoka district of Ontario,
where the swift streams dash over fall
after fall. There the small mouth

much. ease as do the salmon Of the
coast, though I have never seen them
go SO high. The great falls Of the

into Georgian bay, offers exceptional
opportunities for watching this Won.

- NOE more rumor has 1t
ATM that there is a war cloud
UW1N overhanging the kingdom
E9EU of Norway and Sweden. 1t
wv is asserted that the mutter-
ings come from Norway.
The occasion for the dissatisfaction is
alleged to be the undemocratic atti-
tude of Prince Regent Gustavus, the
crown prince who will succeed his
father on the throne of the dual
kingdom. Oscar, before the appoint.
ment of his son as regent, was, at
stated and frequent intervals, entire
ly willing to see anyone who wanted
to see and talk with him. The popu-
lar effect of this among the Nor
wegians was partially offset by the
fact that in Christiania there stands
a huge palace where the royal family
are expected to live and entertain
at least a portion of each year, and
King Oscar complied with the expec-
tation only SO far as he considered
absolutely necessary. Gustavus has
not as yet developed the popular
qualities of his father. He is more
secretive, more aristocratic in man
ner. and does not encourage the peo-
pie to come to his counsel table with
their grievances. Added to this, the
N~orwegians feel that their country
is being very much neglected and
Sweden securing all of the royal at
tention.
All of this does not seem to be
sufficient reason for war, nor is it.
The fact is, as it is in the majority
of all n of difficulties, the oc-
casion is of much slighter Importance
than the real and underlying reason.
