~
Verdens Gang has discovered new
source OF revenue. namely, decora-
tons OF honor. The arguments used
by the paper run thus: "Since even
our democrats have carried on such
an extensive traffic in decorating
themselves and others, the industry
has assumed large proportions, and a
reasonable tax on stars and ribbons
would bring considerable amount.
The tax would fall exclusively on
human foolishness, and would, there
fore, be tax on luxuries in the best
sense of the word. We recommend
this plan to the careful consideration
of our decorated 'fellow-citizens, es-
pecially the politicians" " r..
The steamer Orion, which belonged
to the Bergen coast line, was de
stroyed by fire between Makur and
Syltefjord. in the far north. Unsuc-
cessful attempts were made to ground
the steamer. Five persons are sup
posed to have lost their lives, the 9th
.ers escaped in boats to Makur and
Syltefjord. That part of the mails
which contained valuables was saved.
It is reported on the best Of au-
thority that the ship-owners of
Trondhjem have. lost $1,0o0,00o dur
ing the past year chiefly on account
OF low ocean freight rates.
The bill prohibiting whaling along
the coast of Norway was passed by
both divisions of the storthing. But
the cabinet had previously announced
that the bill would be ratified at any
rate. This is something unusual in
the history of Norway. But the gov
eminent felt justified in its course be-
cause the population of northern
Norway demanded this law with a
dangerous determination. Some Fin
marker people actually seem to- have
said some nice things about Russia
in connection with this subject.

FINLAND.

i An ordinance has been issued to the
effect that all barber shops and bath
houses in Helsingfors shall have signs
on which the wording is given in the
Russian language.
The interest taken in the election of
a new city council of Helsingfors was
much greater than usual. Until this
time the so-called Swedish party had
decided the result of the election.
This year a fusion ticket was put up
and pushed with energy. Most of the
Swedish candidates were elected,
though by greatly reduced majorities,
and one old Fennoman and one Ia
borer were elected.
The tickets for the state railways
of Finland will henceforth be printed
in three languages, Finnish, Swedish
and Russian.
OF the conscripts that failed to re-
port for duty in 1902, 237 have just
been pardoned, besides the 1903 who
were pardoned on former occasions.
