Marie. Laporte, the Swedish singer,
was in st. Petersburg when the revo-.

before she reached place of safety.
After considerable effort she was able

thence to Warsaw, where she sought a
rest, but founl that she had leaped

She was obliged to keep to her room,
as revolutionary n,obs were patroling
the streets at all hours and were firing
Unfortunately. ! In describing her
escape from Warsaw she said: !
"Just week after the theater closed
the proprietor Of the hotel came to my
room and excitedly shouted thru the
keyhole: Madame must throw her lug
gage from the balcony outside her win
dow and escape by the wire ladder fixed
below I expostulated, saying that my
luggage was valuable, but the proprie-
tor put an end to further conversation.
Luggage is of no use to dead people,
he said, and left. I hastily opened the
window and somehow made my way to
the street. Hardly had I crossed the
road when I heard shouts. Turning
round, saw the hotel was in flames.
By stroke of good fortune, managed
to catch train back to LODI, but there

were filled with what was nothing more
or less than a crowd of maniacs. The
post and telegraphic service was cut
off, and it seemed to me at first impos-
sible that I should ever leave the city
alive 81, H..

to- find some means of getting away
from this town of horror and crime Il

Pilots who Can't See.

Norway has discovered that many Of
the pilots along the coast are unfit for
their duties by. reason Of impaired sight.
A pilot who recently ran the, Arendal
aground causing a loss Of more than
100000 kroner, was found to have had
very poor vision. Another recent wreck
was caused by a pilot with cataract.
Complaint has been made to the govern
ment, but the officials say that there is
nothing to be done at present. All the
licensed pilots are carefully examined
as to their eyesight and if masters Of
vessels engaged unlicensed men they
do so at their own risk. .sH

Charges That Norwegians Were
Strengthening and Not Razing
strongholds Dissipated BY Crashing
Of Wreckage of Better Feeling
Between Nations Fast Approaches.

Norway has begun the work of re-
6ucing the strength of the frontier
forts in accordance with the terms of
the Karlstad treaty. The barbed wire

tications of F'redrikshald, such as

and Veden have been torn up and car
ried away. 80. ) s..s" ..@~
The work of dismantling these forts
is conducted with vigor. Every day
several damon are dismounted and
stored away. Their future disposition
will be determined by commission
selected by the minister OF war. A
humber Of army engineers are stationed
at Fredrikshald for the purpose Of di-
recting tho work. j.
When the old fortress at Fredriksten
has been reduced to nothing more
dangerous than an old historical ruin,
the lesser works at Orje Kongsvinger
end other strategetical points along the
frontier will also be dismantled. The
articles of the Karlstad conference
provide that all the new. works must
be RACED by next June and this will
be done.
j Hopes to Satisfy Sweden.
It is the hope Of the Norwegian
government that the fears on the part
Of the Swedes that Norway had no in
tention of abandoning the frontier
forts will be dissipated by the ACTIVE
work now being done and that the in
situations in Vart Land and othe!
