endar of events for the day, was the
induction of Senator Fairbanks, OF
Indiana, into the Office of the vice
president of the United States in the
senate chamber The ceremony was
brief and simple to the extent of be-
ing severe. Immediately following the
address and oath of Vice President Fair
banks came the final adjournment of the
Fifty-eighth congress and the beginning
of the special session.
Many other events, such as the swear
ing in of almost third membership
of the senate and various routine duties,
which were in themselves of great i'm
port, were thrust into the background
by the impressive ceremonies which pre-
coded. Solemn and yet BRIEF is the
way the taking of the oath impressed
the spectators. 1t consisted of prom
Use, made with uplifted hand and bowed
head, to perform the duties of the Of
fee and to support and defend the con-
stitution of the United States. This
was the oath of Office, and it was admin
istered by Senator Frye as president pro

waited platform on which rests the desk
of the preceding officer Of the senate.
practically on the same spot on which
all the incoming vice presidents for the
past SO years have stood.
Regarding the notables who were
present at the ceremony in the senate,
practically the same personages were
seen at this event as were present abouS
an hour later at the Inauguration of the
president. Every niche and Granny in
the gallery was filled with people. That
section which is generally used private
ly by the senators was turned over to
the executive party and directly oppo-
site that quarter newspaper men were
busily engaged portraying the scenes
about them. Outside of these two
quarters of the gallery persons hold
ing special tickets were seated.
Shortly before IL the special guests
began to arrive. The president was
seated in big red leather chair i'm
mediately in front of the desk of the
presiding officer and was an interesting
spectator Of the ceremony in which he
himself had participated four years ago.
The induction ceremony did not con-
sumo more than two minutes of time and
was administered by Mr. Frye, presid-
ing officer of the senate.
With the last positive thump of the
gavel upon the desk Senator Frye re-
linquished his position as president pro
tenn. by announcing the end of that
body. Taking seat to one side Mr..
Fairbanks took his place and began his
inaugural address. This was followed
by the prayer of DIR. Edward
Everett Hale. Then the organiza-
ton of the senate was complet-
ed, the oath in each case being adj
ministered by Mr. Fairbanks Immedi-
ately upon the adjournment the guests
began to file out of the gallery and prep
arations were begun for the Inaugural
ton of the president.

ment to 112 men, who met on April
10, 1914, at Eidsvold. near Christiania.
These representatives agreed upon a
new constitution, Gin many respects a
most remarkable document" ). Repub-
lican in substance, though monarch
ical in form, it is not only the freest,
but also the oldest written constitution
based on a uniformly elected repre-
sentation now in force in Europe.
Democratic, yet conservative; firm, yet
flexible, it has proven most admirable
instrument for the preservation of lib
erty in word and action. Based on
true liberal principles, it has shown a
wonderful vitality. and being born of
progressive age, It has been found to
possess a rare adaptability to the adj
vance of liberal development. The con-
stitution was finished and sworn to by
the deputies on May IL, 1914, which
thus became the national holiday of
Norway, it's Fourth of July"
The day after the constitution was
sworn to, Prince Christian Frederick
was unanimously elected king of Nor

very near; but Bernadotte was off with
the greater part of the army in Ger
many, and Sweden was loath to begin
fighting. She appealed to Russia, Eng

lace, but the nations chief was not to
come for some moments.
A hush was noticeable in the crowd.
The official entrance was dramatic. All
except those who were participating in
the ceremony were seated. When the
justices of the supreme court, with the
exception of Chief Justice Fuller.
emerged from between the Corinthian
pillars and marched down the sloping
carpeted aisle to their station they were
greeted with applause. The justices
wore their robes and skull-caps. Then
came the members of the diplomatic
corps, in their gorgeous uniforms, and
they evoked thunderous applause. Led
by Count CaSsini, the Russian ambas-
sador and dean of the corps, and fol-
lowed by the others in order of prece-
dence, they took seats on the right OF
the stand. Strolling in after them came
members of the cabinet, senators and
representatives in congress.
Hush as President Comes.
Following on the heels of the official
party came Mrs. Roosevelt and party
of friends; then, but moment later, the
new vice president, Mr.. Fairbanks, and
his escort arrived and were greeted by
tremendous bursts of applause. AS soon
as Vice President Fairbanks seated him
self the cheers ceased, the military pre-
scented arms, every hat in the commit
tees came off and the great ocean of peo-
pie set up perfect roar of cheers, fair
ly shouting itself hoarse,
Quick as flash every sound was stilled
and President Roosevelt, quiet and COM
posed of demeanor, came from between
the gigantic pillars, escorted by Chief
Justice Fuller. A random burst of
cheers came from the front of the crowd
as with measured tread, in harmony
with the dignifed step Of the chief JUS
tice, the president advanced in state
down the long aisle of distinguished
guests. BY this time all were standing
and nothing could be heard above the
roar of thunderous welcome. Immedi
ately following came, arm in arm, the
members of the committee on arrange
ments. AS the president passed down
the aisle he barred his head and with
characteristic sweep of his hat bowed in
acknowledgement of the salutations
from the stand and the ovation from the
people
The man of the hour was before the
most representative gathering that had
ever assembled to greet the chief execu-
tive of the nation upon like occasion.

With these words Theodore Roosevelt.

augurated for another term to the high
est office which it is the privilege OF an
American citizen to attain.
Chief Justice Fuller, with all the
solemnity of the three other occasions

the oath to the president. This was the
fourth and last instance in which the
chief justice is to be the second figure

ceremony there was no letting down
of the tension of interest. The passing
of a uniformed horseman was sufficient
to call forth cheers, although in some
sections the multitude showed signs of
restlessness. This was true particularly
on the outskirts of the throng where,
pressed by constantly arriving recruits,
many struggled to get nearer to the
point of interest. The effect upon the
densely packed multitude was contin-
uous surging backward and forward
q turbulent sea of humanity.
The rendezvousing of the troops, COM
mittees and civic societies entertained
the crowd throughout the long wait in
cident to the schedule. The various or
CARNATIONS arriving by different routes
passed into the narrow defiles which the
police kept open, the brilliant uniforms
of the troops, the bright sashes of the
committees and the rich caparisoning
of the horses lending themselves to a
kaleidoscope, panoramic effect Cheers
upon cheers greeted the constantly
shifting picture.
AS rap.T'y as the troops arrived they
took the positions assigned them. The
military escort stretched far to
the left and consisted of all
branches of the service-horse
foot and artillery. To the right
were grouped division after division OF
state troops, and in different places of
honor the other organizations took their
stand to await the signal to move.
re Of hn hnYsiT1 cr
troops and organizations were not all
the crowd had for its entertainment.
Directly in its front preparations were
in progress for the Inauguration itself.
The monster stand. in the form of an
open amphitheater. accommodating
1000 persons. had been erected on line
with the rotunda of the capitol and there
decorators were engaged in arranging
for the ceremony and ushers busted
themselves learning the sections to be
assigned to the various officials and dis
tinguished guests.
Notables Begin to Arrive
Shortly after noon just following the
induction into Office of Vice President
Fairbanks, the monster stand, decorat-
ed with plants, flowers, flags and bunt-
ing, began to fill with the people who
had just finished witnessing the cere-
monies in the senate chamber, and
scarcely half hour passed before this
coign of vantage was filled to over
flowing. Added to the color afforded by
the plants and bunting were the bril-
liant costumes of the women, and these
put on a touch of variety which rivaled
the occasion of four years ago. Every
ledge about the capitol and the win
dows were filed to the point of overflow
ing with their human burdens, and long
before the official party appeared the
streets were damned as fan as the eye
could reach.
Several minutes before one o'clock an
extra loud burst of cheers from the
multitude just in front of the main
capitol door called the attention from
the brilliant parade of uniforms in the
street to the official party. which had
just come through the main door, "The
president. there he is" and similar
cries came from the assembled popu-

SIWdTu. Iu0 norway StOTI-
ing now in session is discussing with
warmth the need that Norway, in pro-
lection of her commercial interests, be
granted distinct consular representa-
ton abroad; and Oscar, who is king
of Norway as well as king of Sweden,
looked for support, owing to indisposi-
ton, has just handed the reins of gov
eminent over to his son, Crown Prince
Gustaf, whose attitude towards what
he terms the t'rebellious Norwegians"
is pretty well known. Emperor VIII
liam II. is the ideal of the crown
prince, while, it is need ess to say, no
such ideal holds with the liberty-lov-
ing Norwegians.
Notwithstanding the discomfort Of
the Norwegians, and the rather un-
friendly attitude of the Swedes towards
their nighbors, the period the two
countries have been under one king
has been for each nation a period of
steady development. Alex Lille, a
Finnish writer, remembering the woes
of his own land, speaks thus of these
years: During the past century, at
the beginning of which the two nations
were united, they have enjoyed an I'M
interrupted peace, which should have
rendered them the happiest people on
earth. Inwardly free in spirit, and out
wardly strengthened because of the
union, the two nations have attained
degree of culture comparing favor
ably with that of greater nations; in
deed, in certain respects, surprising
1t. Norways glory is attested by her
great poets, and to the stranger she
stands as the expression of the sublime
beauty of the northern nature and the
richness of the northern spirit
Sweden and Norway have been I'M
der one king since 1914, but by the
terms of agreement each retained
a separate parliament. This union was
brought about by that unique individ-
ual, Bernadotte-French marshal,
Swedish general, and last king of
Sweden and Norway. When the Dano-
Swedish war was ended in 1914. the
treaty of Kiel coded Norway, which the
Danes held as province, to Sweden;
but the Norwegians denied Denmark's
right so to dispose of them. 1t was
only after negotiations were carried on
directly with Norway the latter was
willing to enter into union with Swe-
den. When the Danes coolly made dis
position of Norway, Prince Christian
Frederick, believing the Norwegian
crown should not be thus carelessly
relinquished, assumed the title OF king
until constitutional assembly could
be convocated. The people intrusted
the task of organizing a new govern

Foot and Body in Proportion.

Not long ago prize was offered to the

foot" 1t was won by person so con-

foot abnormal in type outclassed the
shapely and natural member. The size
of the foot should be in proportion to
the size of the whole body. 1t either is
this or it is to some extent deformity.

President Roosevelt's manner was not
that of a man upon whose head fell the
great responsibilities of nations care.
Three years of experience as chief eX-
ecutiye had changed this man as much
as did Lincoln's liberation of the black
man change that great statesman.
While he waited for the applause to die
out he stood in triumph, with no show
of vanity, with no evidences of political
enmity. apparently no memories of the
campaign gone by, and nothing more
disconcerting than huge gathering of
loyal Americans.
