~ HR1STIANIA, Norway, March Ii.
a While we here at Christiania
have experienced an unusually
mild winter, and during the last week
even had a temperature much like that
of a very fine spring day, the popula-
tions along some of the coast district
have indeed had a different experience.
This is the time of the year when
thousands of men are engaged in the
cod and herring fisheries, the main part
of them following their pursuits in
small open boats on the open sea. And
this is also the time when the weather
is the most treacherous. The thous
ands of fisher boats may start out in
the morning having fine weather and,
consequently happy crew, only to be
overtaken by fierce storm when they
are the farthest from their homes. The
tale Of disasters at sea is not new in
Norway, but such a series Of them as
has occurred during the last fortnight
is, happily, almost without a parallel
in the history of the country. ~
First came the disaster on March 1,
at Lyngholmen, near the town of
Haugesund, where the fishing steamer
ssThor,' during hurricane was thrown
on the rocks, and thirty men lost
their lives. Nearly all of them had
their homes in Haugesund and its vicin-
ity. All were people in poor circum-
stances, many were married, and about
forty minor children became fatherless
thru this disaster Thirteen recovered
bodies were inferred in one grave in
Haugesund on the 9Th. The loss of
CT &c oc+i
mated at $1,000 kroner
A couple Of days later came the news
of another sad affair, this time from
Gieslingerne in Nordre Trondhjems
& Amt. Between 1900 and 1,400 fisher
men had sailed out in the morning and
were overtaken by a hurricane, and at
first it was feared that several hundred
people had found a watery grave that
day. Fortunately these people pos
sess wonderful qualifications for manag
ing their boats under the most critical
situations, and therefore the final re
port is that only thirty three men were
lost. The greater number were heads
of families, and thus leave many sor
rowful widows and dependent children
behind. Also the loss Of implements il
the case amounts to several thousands
%of dollars. Such storm as this is no
remembered by the present generation
On the Sth came the third calam
ity. This however, did not occur OF
sea but on land. A snowslide coming
down from the steep mountain peaks
which hang over the small fishing sta
ton of Stene in Busknes, Lofoten
swept away four dwellings, in whicl
sixty fishermen had their lodgings

Signs Of Spring
in Norway.

Besides the high temperature which
has prevailed during daytime lately
there are other Indications that spring
is coming by and by.
The ships are getting ready to leave
their winter quarters, and the young
sailor lads have been focking to Christ
iania from their homes in the smaller
towns. AS to finding employment, or
berths as they call it, they have been
very fortunate this year. The wages
are about the same as in former years.
Another sign of spring is the emigra-
ton Indications are that it will be
large. A few days ago some $50 per:
sons left from Christiania for New York
on the Oscar H., and in April and May
the number of travellers will, no doubt,
be still larger.

Their minds are cultured with a spe-
