Consider Fat Beautiful,

According to Won Humboldt the ma
tives of Guiana express their appre-
citation for woman by saying that
she is fat and has narrow head. A
traveller who spent much time with
the kirghiz of Asia says they esti-
mate female beauty by the amount of
fat; man. when speaking Of the
beauty OF his wife, never forgets to
mention her weight.

MORSE STUDENTS
NEARING AMERICA
MUSICAL CRITIC SPEAKS HIGHLY
OF TENoRs AND BAssEs.
DR.. Sven Hedin Stirs Up Anger in Nor
way by His Newspaper on the Nor
wegian Consular Question and a Live
" Paper Warfare Is Being Carried

The Norwegian students who are to
sing their way into the hearts OF the
American people are nearing New York,
having left Christiania on the steamship
United States just a week ago. With
them went the we'll wishes of the whole
student body and every Norwegian hav,
ing a friend or relative in the United
States, for the singers go from home as
an embassy Of good will and friendship.
"Aftenposten in describing one of
the rehearsals held toward the last
says:
7'There were sung a number of songs
with solos and chorus. 1t was a great
pleasure to hear the chorus. None bet
ter has hardly ever wandered beyond
the borders of Norway. It includes a
number of unusually brilliant and lyric
tenors, whose power is very marked.
Then there is an ensemble Of basses
whose deep resonance rolls as an organ
back of the fresh tenors, with their
bright spirit. With such chorus Mr..
Groendahl, (the directory, can safely
travel to the ends Of the earth.
When the chorus gets such unqualified
approval in comparison with those of
the past, who have won triumph after
triumph in competition with the finest
male choruses in the world, no one in
America need fear that the students
will not be credit to the University
Of Christiania and the Norwegian peo'
pie.

9I DANGER OF SEPARATION Is
Possibility Of Russian Aggression Dis
% cussed by Hedin, - -

DR.. Sven Hedin in another newspaper
article on. the Norwegian situation dis
cusses with considerable frankness the
possibility Of Russian advance on
Norway in the event that this country
separates itself from Sweden and its
natural allies. It is quite possible that
the Northern part Of the country would
look with favor on Russian supremacy
in Finmark. In conclusion DR.. Hedin
says:
If the Norwegians do not accept the
latest and the most liberal proposals 1t
would appear that there is only one alter
native, namely, revolution in Norway
followed by the dissolution sof the ,urion.
Europe will then learn what was the real
object and purpose of the Journeys of the
Norwegian private emissaries, namely, an
| endeavor to win the sympathtes and sup
port Of the great powers for Norway In
her breach Of the union. That accom-
plished, there will begin a new era fol
the Scandinavian peninsula, the future Of
which will be enveloped in obscurity K
an even greater degree than it is now ant
be fraught with even greater risks ant
eventualities
Then the field will be open for thu
prospect which Nansen unfolded in one O.
his interviews when he spoke Of the pos
