Engineer AXE Sjogren, Count Ell TX
| Won Rosen and Capt. Fredrik Bjor-
kenstam spent half month hunting
| karelen. They brought back as tro-
phies two live bear cubs, two huge
bears and several bear-skins. En-
gineer Sjogren killed one of tho big
| bears with spear constructed by
| himself. 1t took him three or four
minutes to finish the beast. The
handle of the spear is about seven
| protected by a strong brass ferrule.
When Mr.. Sjogren ran the spear into
| the neck of the bear the latter took
| the ferrule between his teeth and bit
| deep dents into it though it is made
| of thick material. In the den OF
| this bear were also three tWo-year-
old bears which were shot by the
other men. The big bears were taken
to upsala, where they will be mount
ell by Mr.. kolthotf, and Mr.. Sjogren
intends to keep them as well as his
| spear OH exhibition at his Malsaker
estate in Malaren. The mother of
the live cubs was shot by Capt. Bjor-
| kenstaln, and Count Won Rosen re-
manned in the Karelen to try his luck
| once more.

1.-The Friends of Needle-Work" is
the name of Stockholm society
which for a quarter of a century has
| done a great deal of good. During

ayers of the combine urged Mr.. Ron
neberg to join the combine, and
when suasion failed they served no.
tice on their purveyors to this effect:
If you sell goods to the Ronneberg
Preserving Company we shall buy
no more goods of you. Mr. Rome
berg answered by beginning legal
proceedings against the combine on
the charge of boycott and illegal at

The "spring herring" catch is con-
siderably larger this year than last
year, but the prices are so much
lower that the actual returns to the
| fishermen will be smaller. The cod
fish season opened under favorable
circumstances in many localities, no.
tably in Tromsoamt, where the re-
turns up to March first were 1,9OO,-
900 fish, or more than one-half of
the average catch for The past ten
years. This success is due in large
measure to the contribution of the
Svehdsgrund and the Melangsgrund,
two banks far out in the ocean. Cod
fish shoals are approaching Finmar-
ken, but they still remain in deep
| water. At the close of February
there were $3.50 fishing smacks on
the Lofoten fishing grounds, but the
total catch up to Feb. % was only
$4,000 Goldfish.
The new bill for the regulation of

More about Oscar II, the passenger
steamer that was grounded near
Kristiansand. 1t contained a cargo
of $500 tons, the bulk of which was

solidly the top of it's hull rose about
nine feet above the water, and all
the rooms were full of water.
Ludwig Meyer, the whilom leader
of the social democratic party, who

The controversy aroused by the
proposition to appoint Rev. Ording
to the chair of systematic theology
in the university of Norway, became
so heated that the whole matter was
dropped for the time being, the
crown prince, in the capacity of reg
ent during the kings stay at Abaz-
zia, deciding that 1.-The position shall
not be filled at present" The OBJ
jections against the candidate came
exclusively from the orthodox
church people because he is said to
look upon the sacrament of baptism
as symbol of future grace, not as a
power of salvation; and upon the
eucharist as symbol, not as an en-
bodiment of, the ''body and blood
of Jesus" Ibsen, Schonning and
Nicholson, members of the cabinet,
are said to have voted for Ording.
