ATTEMPT IS SUCCESSFUL.
S. r. Cody Finally Crosses Channel
in His Kite-BOat-Trip Takes
Thirteen Hours,

London. Nov. 9.-After several fail
ures S. F. Cody Saturday succeeded in
crossing the channel in his kite boat.
He left Calais at II o'clock Friday night
and reached Dover Is hours later. He
encountered much shipping and had
some narrow escapes.
Cody had previously made two un-
successful attempts to cross the chan
mel from Dover to Calais in collapsible
boat drawn by kite on October 10 and
November 4. respectively. The kite he
employed was somewhat on the prin-
ciple of box kite and was capable of
lifting several tons. The boat weighed
four tons and was decked with canvas.
It resembled miniature submarine
boat. A combined steering gear manip-
ulated the kite and the boats rudder
alike and enabled Cody to maneuver
with comparative ease.

paper says, number of separate

states having rulers of their own.
would 1T be impossible to unite
.hree countries whose population is
Tar less heterogeneous than that of
germany? The first step would be
10 let Norway have king of her own,
and for this position the advocates of
the plan are proposing Prince Carl of
Sweden, who is married to Ingeborg,
Danish princess. But the army, the
navy and the forei gn representation
or the three countries would have to
be common. This arrangement would
not only save considerable money,
but Scandinavia would be far stronger
than at present as compared with the
neighborring powers. A certain ter
rltory, something like the District of
Columbia in the United States, would
have to be set aside for the govern
ment buildings, and joint institutions,
such as a legislature and council,
would have to be established. The
oldest of the three kings should pre-
side at the executive sessions of the
joint cabinet. The paper closes this
interesting discussion by declaring
that this plan seems no more strange
than the plan of uniting Germany
into one empire seemed to the petty
German states fifty years ago. Be-
sides, the paper adds, this plan has
the advantage, of solving the vexed
Norwegian question. Finally, the
editor of this department would beg
leave to say that he never ran across
a more practical plan than the above
for uniting the Scandinavian coun-
tries into one political entity.

The herring Fisheries are still Civ

Oct. 20 the amount of fat herring

The SUBJECT OF CUBAN

No Liquidation Regarding New Re-

with Country.

Washington, Nov. ga conference
to review the work to be done at the
extra session of congress and to discuss
matters of legislation during the reg
ular session was held at the white house
Saturday between President Roosevelt
and Senators Allison, of Iowa; Aldrich,
of Rhode Island; Cullom, of Illinois;
Plat, of Connecticut; Hale, of Maine,
and Spooner, of Wisconsin. The confer
ence lasted over an hour, but it was
stated by the senators on leaving the
white house that the exact form Of leg
lsation to put Cuban reciprocity into
effect had not been decided upon.
In view of the prompt action of the
administration in recognizing the new
republic of Panama, it was stated that
no legislation on that subject would be
absolutely necessary, although it might
be desirable to give the president au-
thorization to conduct canal negotia-
tions with the new republic An in
dorsement by congress of the pres
ident's action in recognizing the re-

providing diplomatic agents for the new

The discussion of the subject Of
awarding the Nobel prizes of s4o,-
600 each for the year 1908 is carried
on more openly than in former years.
Prof. Sjogren, one of those who are
entitled to propose candidates, has
publicly declared that he is in favor
of giving the physics prize to Mar
conf. The literary prize may be
divided between Ibsen and Bjornson,
unless the latter excuses himself from
dividing honors with lbsen. Swim
burne is the candidate furnished for
this prize by England, and Georg
Brandes is backed by the Danish
academy of sciences and number of
French writer's. The chemistry prize
may remain home. Prof. Svante Arrhe-
MUS having a very strong backing.
DIR. Finsen of Copenhagen, the inven-
tor of the method of curing lupus by
means of rays of light, is almost sure
of receiving at least one-half of the
prize to be awarded to a man who
has distinguished himself in the field
of medical research.
Governor Bergstrom draws a dark
picture of the economical condition
of the people of some localities in
Norrland. IN Arjeploug the failure of
the crops was complete, and it will
take 500 tons of hay from other quar-
tiers to keep the stock alive until
next spring. In Jukkasjarvi the short
age is 1000 tons. In Arvidsjaur the
condition is as bad as anywhere. In
addition to the failure of the crops,
the lemming pest is flooding the
country, devouring even the roots of
the grass. Emigration is fully as
heavy as last year.
NORWAY.
Two Danes have translated Ibsen's
complete works into good Russian,
and the first volume of the Russian
edition has appeared. This has start
ed a curious discussion in literary
circles in Russia. The translators de-
clare that they have translated the
works from the Danish. But two
other translators declare with equal
emphasis that lbsen wrote in Nor
wegian, and these contrary state
ments started the discussion. Norwe-
gian and Danish authors are quoted
by both parties; but those who claim
that lbsen wrote in Danish are much
closer to the truth than the others,
the grammar being Danish, and the
purely Norwegian words being few
and far between.
Bjornson is developing into model
farmer, besides following his literary

The following item contains some
changes in statements made on the
same subject in previous issue of
this paper. From Abbazia it is re-
ported that King Oscar will drive
there in the first part of January,
1904, with large suite, and that he
will stay there for about four months.
The lord-marshal has rented the
whole Of "Villa Jeanette" which cum
tains 60 rooms. The loyal pleasure
yacht, Drott, and horses and car
riages will be sent from Sweden for
the use of the royal party. Abbazia
is a fashionable watering place on
the Hungarian coast of the Adriatic
Sea. 1t was the stay of Crown Prin-
cess Stephanie of Austria at this
place which made it famous.
A number of Swedish and Norwe-
gian pulp manufacturers held con-
vention in Kristiania and resolved to
establish a central office for the sale
of mechanical pulp, on the basis of
an aggregate of 100000 tons.
FINLAND.
Fire started while no one was pre-
sent in the second story of three
story store building in Botby, Hell
sing parish. 1t is supposed that a
tirebrand had dropped down from the
chimney corner. Three families were
living on the third floor, and four of
their children were burnt to death.
Three of them were from one to four
years old, and the fourth one was a
school girl.
SWEDEN.
Count Tage Thott has petitioned
the king for permission to build an
electric power station in a peat bog
near lake Iddinge. As the location
indicates, peat will be used for fuel.
and wires will be strung for trans
hitting power to Skabersjo and Sved-
ala. The cost of the plant will be
about $4,000.
\ good authority claims that the
consumption of timber in Sweden en-
ceeds the growth by something like
100000 cubic meters a year. About
20,O00,0O0 cubic meters a year is used
for domestic fuel.
The election of bishop for the

Almost $4,000 is badly needed for
