eminent is endeavdring to collect for
the purpose of preparing new suffrage
bill are by no means easy to get at,
chiefly because poll lists are more OF
less defective in hundreds of voting
precincts.

cess of Sweden attended the golden

dictate, may soon pass into the posses
sion of some Eskilstuna manufacturers
who propose to utilize it's resources far
better than it's former propretors ever
did. The farm lands will be cut up
into small parcels and sold at reason
able rates, and the waterfalls will be
used for manufacturing purposes.
The population of Ryn island, in
the bay Of Riga, is Swedish and is still

lished biography of King Oscar II.
A representative of the japanese
government has been studying the

Rev. Herman, who proved his cour-
age by using his pulpit in censuring
the Swedish government for it's in
activity during the climax of the union
crisis, has frankly stated that he does
not expect the present cabinet to fulfill
the just demands of the Swedish peo-
pie.

Phe Separator Manufa curing COM
pany of Stockholm, after skillful and
very comprehensive advertising, has
commenced to sell it's new milking ma
chine. The old way Of milking cows is
such slow and tedious work that the
farmers are anxious to find out some
thing about the practicability of the
new machine. Some valuable informa l.
ton is furnished by August Kirch, 2
bonanza farmer at Balteberga, Skane
who wrote the following for publica-
ton: The machine was tested on my
farm for six weeks. 1t can perform q
very fine, particularly clean work
which in some respects may excel hanc
milking. But it cannot be used TO,
milking all kinds of cows, heifers being
particularly difficult, and cows having
short teats cannot be MIXED with the
machine. It cannot we'll be used out
side of diaries. I have not had &C.
casion to test the economical value OF
the machine, nor do / know anything
about its possible influence upon the
yield of milk. Finally, would say that
the machine is no longer in use at
my dairy.
cfo f4ro fo
times by different members Of the
cabinet it would seem that the Lind
man cabinet is going to include women
in the new franchise bill, giving them
the right to vote for members of the

character of the statistics collected by
the government with regard to the
problem of granting general suffrag
also indicates that woman's suffrage is
taken seriously.
Prof. A. w. Munthe has studied the
plans Of the American business COL
leges in the interest Of the new COM
mercial high school which is to be es-
tablished in Stockholm. He reported
that pattern had to be looked for in
Europe, not in America. He said that
value on a thorough education as a
means of achieving success in business,
but that a practical education is taken
to be more important. The Swedish
business men, however, seem to hold
similar opinions. When a proposition
was made to establish commercial
high school in Malmo Mr.. Winbler, a
leading merchant, opposed the plan on
the ground that the commercial high
schools make the future business men
so conceited that they underestimate
the far more valuable acquisition OF a
practical training.

berg will be given. The outfit will be
of the most modern kind, and the gates
of the new theater will be thrown open
to the public Sept. l, 1907.
