NORWAY.
Mrs. Adeline Hagerup, mother OF
Mrs. Edward Grieg, died in Bergen,
at the age of "a years.
The music of Grieg produced Pc
culiar ecstacy among the Russians
and Polanders.
Edward Storm Bull, a younger broth
er of Ole Bull, the violinist died few
days ago, aged SO years. He was very
musical, and he was musical director
of the orchestra which played at the
theater which Ole Bull opened in
Bergen in 1850. The wife of Edward
Bull was an actress at that theater,

The establishment of private the
illogical seminary in Norway seems
to be only a question of time. The
prospects are that the necessary
means will be forthcoming without
any extraordinary efforts. The church
people are becoming enthusiastic over
the proposition. Several persons have
subscribed from $25 to $3.50 a year
for running expenses. In a short
while an appeal will be published by
bishops, preachers and laymen. The
new faculty is to consist Of Prof. Cd
land, Rev. Hognest and third man
whose name cannot yet be announced.
Rev. Dahle has been suggested as the
third man, but he does not want to
give up his work as secretary of the
foreign missions.
The following figures prominently
appear in the American press just
now: A Norwegian a,my officer, bear
ing semi-ofticial credentials from Pre-
mier Nicholson, has come to the Unit
ed States for the purpose of sounding
Norsemen as to their desire to return
to Norway. The officer is Lieut.. Col.
Morten H. Magnus of the LAND
storm division of the Norwegian
army, who arrived in Chicago direct
from Christiania. COL Magnus, who
is regarded as one of NorWay's great
patriots, declared the government has
opened it's eyes to the enormous loss
of economic power thru the emigration
to America of Norway's young men
and women my mission in the Unit
ed States is to sound emigrated Nor
wegians as to their desire to return
to Norway" said Col. Magnus. Il
know that most No. .egians are hap
py in their adopted country and will
never return, no matter what induce.
ments their Fatherland may be able
to offer them. But there is a large
number of Norsemen in America who
| would return if assured of equally
good economic and social conditions
in the land of their birth. 1t is to
this class of people that my appeal
mainly will be made. 1t is absolutely
essential to the life and continued
prosperity of Norway that emigration
be checked, and that as many as pos
sible return, carrying with them the
practical experience they have gained
in America. The government now is
engaged in devising plan by which
farmers may take homesteads as in
America. This is one of the things
that is being done in an effort to i'm
prove conditions for agricultural work
ers. Following the dissolution of the
union with Swedes and the election
of King Haakon great impetus has been
given to manufacturing, mining and
industrial enterprises of all sorts"
