The protection given to deer in Ncf-
way by the government has increased
them in such numbers that they are
now even proving to he n great
nuisance in the country districts. In

age to the forests and there is general
demand for a partial suspension OF the
protected acts. AT Lothenstranden,
along Nordfjord, hundreds of deer
may be seen along the hillsides. They
are so tame that they have no fear or
human beings and often appear at the
farmhouses and intermingle with the
rest Of the cattle.

Says a pointed paragraph in a recent
issue OF the Chicago Tribune: 1.-THE
new sovereign in all the speeches Of
welcome to which he has been sub
jected to since his arrival in Norway
has been addressed as Mr.. King in
stead of sire or your majesty"
