CHINESE OBJECTS OF
INTEREST IN NORWAY
JUST LIKE A CIRCUS FOR THE
CHILDREN.

Special Correspondence of The Journal.


Christiania, May 3.--A Chinaman is
rare bird in this city. l do not re-
member having seen one here in my
six years stay. 1t is, therefore, no
wonder that the arrival of the imperial
Chinese commission, nineteen men
strong, became an event of interest.
They are the same highclass person
ages as those who visited American
cities some time ago.
They came here from Stockholm and
occupied twenty-five rooms at the
Grand hotel, where the made-for-the
occasion yellow dragon banner was
displayed during their three days stay
They have been received by many
dignitaries from the king down. They
have dined at the palace and at the
minister of states residence, and 6
large banquet was given in their honol
by commercial men interested in the
far east. Some of them have received
the Order of st. Olav from the king
They have been on the go all the
time, looking at everything and in
quiring about everything. The indns
meree, military depots, museums; in
short, every place of interest has beer
honored by their visits.
Fortunately Christiania had a few
gentlemen who have been living il
China for years and able to speak theil
language fairly well. This fact has
pleased them much.
For the children here the visit OF
the Cinnamon has almost answered the
purpose of an ordinary circus.

Who's Who in Norway.

While in Norway there is no publlca'
tion bearing title corresponding to ne
above, there is, nevertheless, an OIL
cial publication called "Norges Stats,
kalender. While it in general is
something like our congressional direc
tory it is far more extensive IN ITS
scope, as it does not only -, og1 give eft,tas the
but the name, age, position held, etc.
of every person employed by the goSv
ernment from the king down to the
humblest clerk in the departmental
service; likewise the names Of all the
representatives of foreign govern
ments stationed in Norway, either IN
diplomatic or consular capacity
Further it gives full information re
garding the different schools, societies
charitable and educational institutions
Owing to last years events and the
separation from Sweden, this year:
issue Of the Statskalender' has but
now appeared, and to anyone desiring
to be correctly informed as to who >;
who and what IS what in Norway,
would suggest that they invest IN
copy of this useful publication.

An Interesting Man Gone.

Ole Peter Hansen Balling, once a
colonel in the United States army, and
chief for the New York volunteers
under General Grant, and later under
General Burnsides' command, died yes
terday. He was born in Christiania
conducted a shoemaker shop. Young
Balling was first set to learn the paint
er's trade, but he very soon showed
tendencies for something higher; he
wanted to be an artist. He went to
Berlin, where he worked at his trade
and at the same time studied at the
art academy. In 1916 he returned to
Norway as an artist. Two years later
the war broke out while he was at
Copenhagen and he enlisted as a volun.
teer in the Danish army and remained
in that service to 1856. He advanced
to first lieutenant.
From Denmark he went to New
York, where he worked as portrait
painter until the civil war broke out,
when he joined the army with the rank
of captain. During fight he was shot
in the right shoulder and had to retire
as an officer, but he followed the army
as an artist. While the siege Of Rich
mond was going on he was the guest
studies for his famous work, General
Grant and his Generals for which he
received the sum of $4,000. Balling
has painted portraits of many Ameri-
can officers and statesmen-among
them one of Lincoln.
In the seventies he returned to Nor
| way where he made series of por-
traits for the naval gallery at Karl Jo-
hans Verft. In 1879 he visited Ameri-
ca again, and in 1881 he made trip to
| Mexico, where he painted a portrait of
| President Juarez for President Diaz
| On his return to Norway he was ap.

For the last two years Mr.. Balling

from the United States since about

Norwegian Athletes at Athens.

The Norwegians turner's who went to
the Olympic games have done. well. In
competition With troupes of eight other
nations in free gymnastics they come
out as number one.
AS indicated in a former Journal let
ter, the sharpshooters held their own
They came out as a good second, having
only two points less than the winners
of the first prize.
Taken individually the Norwegians
came out ahead, as Mr.. Skattebo made
$50 points, which was SO points more
than any other competitor. Therefore
the troupe has every reason to be satls'
fed with the results.

The Tourist Season.

No doubt the coming season will be a
record breaker in respect to tourist
traffic, the coronation being quite

from America. has been here for a cou'
pie of weeks. He has been all the way
up to Tonsaaasen in Valders, where the

Norwegians in Frisco,

Altho the number of Norweg ianb born
persons in San Francisco was small iE
comparison with that of many other
American cities, the news of the sad
disaster has brought sorrow and anx-
iety to many in this country. Out of
the 1900 Norwegians supposed to be
living at San Francisco, a great num-
ber must have hailed from Christiania
Ever since the news reached here the
newspapers, the American consulate
and all other places where information
was expected to be obtainable, have
been overrun by anxious inquirers.
While by this time several parties have
tives, informing them Of their escapes,
there are still many who know moth
ing of the fate of their dear ones in
that ill-fated city.
The Norwegian press has devoted
much attention to the catastrophe, and
all the leading papers have printed re
productions of scenes Of interest III
San Francisco. The Christiania dailies
have, perhaps, been doing better in this
line than many other European cities
even Of larger size, for the reason that
one of the Christiania photographers
formerly lived at San Francisco and
had in his possession a great number
OF views from that city. A lady now
living in this city made San Francisco
her home for twelve years, and she
being devoted amateur photographer
she also had a good, collection of views
from that place, all of which have been
reproduced.
The report that no aid from abroad
was needed is not understood here. i
fund had been planned when the news
came. Norwegians are unable to grasI
the extent of America s power of re
cuperation.

Results Of the Cod Fisheries.

The season for the catch Of cod is
now over, except in F1nmarkcn, and
the results are not what were once ex-
pected. The stormy weather raging
during the first half Of this month com
pletely spoiled the favorable position of
The fisheries at the end Of March, and
set the returns back by several mill
ions. In fact the first half of April
may be considered as practically lost.
The total catch for the country up to
April 2S was 36,1OO,O00 cod. Last year
it was 34,SOO,O00 and in 1904 36,2OO,-
900 to the corresponding dates. The
amount of medical cod liver oil is 80,
425 hi. While thus the total catch is
not much better than last years and
must be counted in as one of the many
poor seasons, the by-products, liver and
roe. have been of better quality. The
prices have ruled high the last week
In Dofothen kr. $3.50 for 100 fish, and
s-15 ore liter for liver; salted roe,
30-35' kr. a barrel; medical cod liver

The Finmarken fisheries are now
leeked forward to with expectations of
making up the deficit from the other
districts. At the end Of this month
about 1000 boats and 5000 men were
in that part. Indications for fair re-
suit are apparent, but it depends upon
the weather. So far the Finmarken
catch is far below the average.
The herring fisheries vaarsild y
