Piled to canal service. The way
has been blasted from the solid rock,
or built up of masonry which
deties the wash of steam-driven
vessels.
1t was not until 1886 that an
engineer was found with sufficient
daring to undertake for the Govern
ment the continuation of this sys-
TEN of canals. Few had confidence
in the success of the enterprise. All
nature stood in opposition to the
power of man. Who could dissolve
such obstacles? A large and rapid
river connecting the chain of lakes
in the upper district of Telemarken
must be subdued and made tribu-
tary to the Nordsjo. 1t was filed
with dangerous rapids and great
falls, presenting difficulties to be
overcome only by mastery genius.
Under the hands of these Norwegian
giants it now has become a placid
and navigable channel
AS we enter the mouth of the canal,
it seems to be only a branch of the
river divided by small island. The
steamer picks it's way with care at
first, as the path is tortuous and the

a chamber eight hundred feet in length between the
gates, and width both in the chamber and in the
gates of one hundred feet. There depth of twenty
one feet over the sills, allowing steamers OF great
draft to pass easily from lake into the other.
Probably the greatest well as the latest en-
cheering feat is that of Norwegian Skill which opens
up the great chain of lakes in the interior OF Iee
marker, forming a waterway of more than eighty
five miles inland from the sea, and travers1ng more
than half of Southern Norway from east to west.
BY linking these lakes with great canals highway
of marvellous beauty well as utility between
Chrstiana and Bergen is formed with only ninety
five miles of carriage drive in distance of four
hundred and twelve miles.
1t was as far back as 1907 that the great lake
of Nordsj0 was placed in direct communication
with the sea by a canal which passed through
the quaint little towns of LOvrid and Sken. By
a series of four locks at the former and two at the
latter place all the difficulties were overcome,
and the project of continuing the enterprise to
Stavanger and Bergen considered.
From one end of the lake nesting among the
roc-ribbed mountains, the first canal OF the series
is entered 1t is formed from river, which dashes
and tumbles among the crags flowing IN the canal
for a considerable distance, and then changing
into its channel parallel to the canal proper

the other, sufficient depth is obtained to
float sea borne ships.
The most remarkable canal of the world,
considering the business which it is carry
ing is the Sault Ste. Marie, in Michigan.
AS the connecting link between the great
navigations of the United States and Canada,
it bears upon its bosom during the seven
months which it is navigable from thirteen
to fifteen million tons of the staple necessities
of the world.
The first canal around the Falls of St.
Mary was constructed in 1855 to overcome
a descent of about eighteen feet. The locks
were about seventy feet in width and three
hundred and fifty feet long between gates.
In 1880 the canal was transferred to the
United States and the work of improving
was begun.

this state. As no place has been fix
ed for the next state reunion, it is
impossible to make plans for their
official presentation at that time.
The following acknowledgment
was made by Gov. Hayward in a let

retarv of war, Hon. VIM. H. Taft:
Your letter of the 18TH instant Off

the Joint resolution Of congress, OF the
return OF our state battle flags was
duly received. The case containing

National Magazine For April.

Four Of the principal articles in the
National magazine for April deal
with the railway problem now to the
front in American politics. The titles
Of the articles and their authors arc:
"Congress and the Railroads" by
Representative John J. Esch. author
OF the rate bill now pending in con-
gress.
The Republic VS.. the Banking
Syndicates," by Frank Putnam.
THE Masters of Our Railways" by
Edward D. Tittnann, railroad expert
of the New York Times.
"What Causes Railway Wrecks"
by C. H. Allison, of the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad.
Mr.. Esch urgently advises railway
managers to accept federal control OF
rates. lest federal ownership prove to
be the only alternative-and MT.
Esch does not desire federal owner
ship.
Mr.. Putnam argues that the rail-
ways are public highways that should
be open to all corners on precisely
equal terms. and declares his belief
that unjust and illegal determinations
will continue as long as these public
highways remain in private hands.
MI. Tittmann marshals data to
support Mr.. Esch's assertion that tive
or six banking syndicates own most
of the railways in this country, and
control the remainder. Mr.. Tittmann
presents portraits of eight OF the
railway kings of the United States.
Mr.. Allison makes an artful special
plea in extenuation of the wholesale
slaughter of passengers, employees
and trespassers on American rail-
ways, charging most Of the blame
against railway labor unions. This
contention is vigorously combatted
oy Nj. Putnam.
The literary and pictorial features
of the number are up to its usual high
standard. Among the contributors
are Charles Warren Stoddard, Joe
Mitchell Chapple, Katherine Lee
Bates. Governor Charles Aycock Of
North Carolina, Yone Noguchi, Mir
lam Shelley, James Ball Naylor, An
ma Mcclure Sholl, J. F. Conard (the
new Iowa humorist), and Mabel
Percy Haskell.

directing an election for trustees ap-
plies to The special districts, then the
specific reservation that the trustees
shall be elected OF appointed in the
same manner as is provided tor IN
the special Act is rendered a COM
plete nullity and the purpose OF the
Act defeated. The term "such school
district refers to the districts stated
in the exceptions, for under the

BATTLE FLAGS RETURNED.
Banners Captured in Civil Wa From
South Carolina Confederate
Regiments.

Gov. Howard is in receipt OF the
flags which were captured from Con-
federate regiments from this state
and have been in Washington since
the close OF hostiIities between the
sections. The captured banners which
have been returned are the Eighth,
Eleventh, Sixteenth and Twenty-sev-
enth regiments infantry, Sumter Fly
ing artillery, Sumter Heavy artillery,
garrison flag, Castle Pickney; garrl-
son flag, Fort Moultrie; garrison flag,
Citadel; garrison flag, James Island;

South Carolina regiment.
Hon. VIM. H. Taft, secretary OF
war, in forwarding the flags said If q

press all the Confederate battle flags
that were in the custody Of the war
department at the time of the appro-
val of said joint resolution and that

Herewith are enclosed a list OF
the flags transmitted to you today,

the information that the war depart

described in that document cannot
be identified at the present time, their
numbers Or distinguishing marks haV-

that could be identified in 1888 have
since been identified and are now re-

warded him before the county board
met on Thursday. County Superln-
tendent Wheeler stated upon his re-
turn from Columbia that his board
would be bound in its action solely
by this opinion.
On Wednesday the written opinion
was received, signed by Attorney
General Gunter. After reviewing
the law, the attorney general reaches
the opinion that under the status of
affairs the county board Of education
is without jurisdiction, thus reversing
the verbal opinion expressed by As
sistant Attorney General Townsend.
There the matter stands. 1t seems
probable now that the election Will
not be ordered. One opinion of the
attorney generals Office has stated
that the board of trustees is not re-
ouired to order the election and an
other opinion has stated that the
county board OF education is not re-
CURED to order the election.
Attorney General Gunter's opinion,
in which it is held that the county
board Of education is without lur:s-
dicaion. is as follows:

TIE PROFESSOR OF MANNERS.

Many a man of more than ordinary
intellectual powers has found himself
handicapped because Of his inability
to make a good impression on the
men with whom he wishes to do bus
mess. He did not acquire in his
youth the "know how" or sayoir
fare, as the French call t. Even his
college training has failed tO develop
this ability in him
The president Of one of the great
eastern colleges has recently devised
a plan which is intended, among other
things. to supply this lack in the
college course. A large number of
preceptors is to be employed who
shall act as advisers as Well as in
structors of the freshmen. They will

Of subjects of study, and will also at

traits.
