been constrained to feel that he was the mouth-piece of their race, as no other Norwegian before him had been, and that he has voiced whatever is deepest and most enduring in the Norwegian temper" The later period of his life has been marked by keen interest in polit ical and social subjects; he has labored for the separation of Norway from the dual monarchy.
 Nansen and Sven Hedin. the Swedish explorer and politician, have been en- gagged in battle royal-a pen tilt-in the London Times. Sven Hedin remarks with asperity: Let nobody believe that Norway has restricted her endeavor solely and alone to the procuring of her own consuls." Nansen talks back. calls to his opponents attention: That Sweden some years ago began to adopt a system of high tariff while Norway re- mained practically free trade country. the resultant divergence in fiscal pol Icy causing the existing consular sys- tenn to become an instrument for the sub. ordination of Norwegian interests to those of Sweden"

 The vegetarian took occasion to ad- vertise his creed by telling the stran- ger that all meat was injurious and that the human diet should be strictly veestarian.

in pursuit of this favorite sport. Prince Waldemar is just trifle older than Prince Oscar. He has four sons and a daughter, his wife was Princess Marie d'Orleans, daughter of Due de Chartres Another prince that was early men, tioned is Prince William, grandson of King Oscar, second son of Crown Prince Gustavus It was thought the placing of any one of these princes at the head of the Norwegian state would be a strong reason for the friendship of Norway's neighbors.
 To return to the consideration of few of the men in Norway that have been influencing public opinion. Michelsen, chosen head of the provisional govern ment. for about 12 years, has been lead ed of the liberal party He is looked upon as the type of the progressive practical man of affairs He has prac- ticed law, been head of his fathers large ship-building interests, and has taken time from business responsibilities for the service of his country. It was large ly through MT. Michelsons influence that Norway obtained jury system sim liar to that of the United States, and an- other reform he successfully labored for was the extension of the suffrage Nor way now has universal manhood sui frage. (By the way, much larger per cent of the women in Norway vote than of the women in this country.) Since his election to the storthing in 1903, MT Nicholson has been conspicuous in Scan dinavian politics. He was member of the Hagerup-Ibsen cabinet at Stock holm, then was recalled to Christiania to assume the duties of finance minister On the resignation of the Hagerup min istry, he was asked to form a cabinet, and was made prime minister. He is now AS years of age.
 Bjornstein Bjornson is an old man. but by no means out of the fighting. Bjorn- son was born in 1892 One careful study of Bjornson pronounces him figure completely and profoundly representa- tive of his race. In the frequently quot ed words of pr. Brandes, to speak the name of Bjornson in any assemblage of his countrymen is like hoisting the Nor wegian flag. Bjornson has always been a fighter as well as an artist, and it has been his self-imposed task 10 arouse his fellow countrymen from their mental sluggishness. But whatever the oppo- sition aroused by his political and social radicalism, even his opponents have

PRINCE WALDEMAR OF DENMARK. though, it is reported, he thinks the mat ter may have to be settled by war.
 Ip contemplation of this solution of the problem, it may be in place to refer to the comparative strength of the two nations. An article in the London Spec tator phrases it.: "The Swedes outnum- Der the Norwegians two to one, are much the wealthier, and are full of the historic military pride which helps so to make good soldiers.
 To offset Sweden's marked advan- tages, the character of the inhabitants of the smaller country is brought for ward, we are called upon to keep in mind the fact that the Norwegians are such sturdy, intelligent. independent people. An authority, Mulhall, speaks of them as the most independent people in the world. The quoted article in the Spectator deprecating the Swed- en-Norway break. says: 1" Though we admire the Norwegians as a people who are among the few capable of self-gov- ernment, we think them entirely wrong in stalking their own future and the peace of the world. upon the struggle for dignity which will bring them so little reward"
 When news came that Norway had an- nounced its withdrawal from the union, and the news was accompanied by word of the inclination of state to make overtures towards placing as ruler over Norway either Bernadotte prince or a son of the royal house of Denmark, doubtless the first thought of the Ameri- can reader was, Why another king; why not republic at once? To this may be made answer that Norway feels the need of the support of the European nations, and appreciates the probability that monarchy and empire would look ask ance Oh Norwegian republic, would be more inclined to the conservatism of . monarchy-monarch and empire not desiring any spread of republicanism.

AnY ORWAY is not lacking for
 able men in these days of AN change in Scandinavia, but SSx6fM two names stand forth to
 @E the eyes of the world with
 Vo special prominence that of
 the poet and philosopher, novelist and dramatist, Bjornson; that of the explorer, Nansen. Their fame was made ere they took to the field of politics; because of this fame where they stand gives authority to the cause espoused.
 They uphold Norwegian independ ence. Bjornson speaks thus of the ac- tion taken by the storthing: "The ad- dress to the king is the voice of the en- tire Norwegian nation. The dissolu- tion of the union is the greatest blessing to all northern people," Nansen. who declares the joint consular service has been used to subordinate Norwegian in terests to those of Sweden, is using his Influence on the side of separation. al-
