en- o'clock TO wave a goodbye when
the vessel turned again seaward. Al
though SO late in the day the twi-
light lasted, making possible. the work
of transferring the passengers, for
Christians and to the tender. Twelve
hours up the Christiana ford (another
name for frth) brought US to the mod
ern city, the capital of Norway, where
we stayed a sufficiently long time to
see a good deal of it and to take an
Intensely Interesting trolley ride. The
principal street leads to the royal pal
ace.
The kings residence is plainly dis
cernibIe for quite a long distance on
account Of it's comparative elevation
and the stralghtness of the thorough
fare already alluded to. One Of the
things in Christiania worth going a
great way to see is the viking ship,
SAID to be thousand years old. 1t
had lain buried for centuries, its pres
ervation being due in large measure to
the peculiar quality Of the clay in
which it was embedded. Twenty min
utes in an electric car took us to Hol-
menkollen where a thousand feet above
sea level we obtained a charming view
Of the city lying below with it's har-
Dor and ford dotted with islands At
HClmen15llen is situated O Sanitorium,
an all the year round health resort.
On our return journey down the noun
tain about midway change of con-
ductors took place. This was accom-
plished with quite a little ceremony,
reminding one somewhat Of a cnange
of sentres in military life.
The conductor going off duty alight-
ed from the car and stood with a
large book under his arm and await
ed the coming of the official who was
to relieve him. The latter soon APP
peared armed with another large
book and when they had saluted each
other in a very solder-lilze way the
trip was resumed once more a
board the steamer we are soon head
ing for Copenhagen which we reach
in about twenty hours. THE meaning
of the name is the merchant harbor
1t is fine city with : population of
half a million inhabitants and is the
commercial, Industrial and military as
well as the intellectual center of the

| Copenhagen brings one to Elsinore.
The very name suggests Shakespeare.
A few minutes walk from Elsinore
takes you to the so-called grave Of
Hamlet Elsinore is an ancient town.

from vessels passing through the

is close ait hand A ferry boat takes
the traveller across the four or five
miles of water between Denmark and
Sweden at this point The three
/ countries have much in common and

grphical sense. One is struck by
the cleanliness Of the Scandinavian
towns, The industry of the people
whether in city or country especially
the former where it is accompanied by
an apparent smoothness refreshing to
see-life seems to be lived at mod
crate rate. The excellence of many
Of their institutions is pronounced.
The development of the modes Of
transit particularly the trolley sys-
tens, is a revelation in itself to a
stranger The sojourner however

him when he departs memories OF
Astounding natural beauty, memories
Of triumphs Of science and art and
memories of a patient persistent polite
and patriotic people.
