Premier Michelsen's recent resignation
appeared in the Stockholm Dagblad re-
gently and gives in part at least note.
worthy Swedish view of the premier's
retirement. ''To. Sweden he gave 4
wound which will rot heal quickly,
and even if it is understood that he
acted because he thought he fulfilled
an historic mission, and even if it is
realized that the 9TH of June was not
his work alone, but that he only exc
cuted the idea Of an all-controlling pub
lie opinion. still it will not be easy in
our country to remember him without
bitterness. But this does not prohibit
US from respectfully remembering
What he has done for the safety Of the
new kingdom after the happening of
what he looked upon as unavoidable.
He himself perhaps never believed that
the disruption Of the union would open
the doors to Utopia where all the fat
resolutions of popular massmeeetings
would assume the form Of reality, but
there were so many others who
thought so. He prevented these from
taking the 'high-seat,' and for that deed
we shall respect him, even in our coun-
try; for kingdom turned into a field
of parliamentary experiments on a
large scale is somewhat unpleasant
even to it's neighbors. The last two
years Of his administration were full
Of trials, but he stood them well, and
some day it may be acknowledged,
even on the other side of the boundary
mountains, that his exploit Of June Z,
1905. was thrown into the shade by the
difficult piece Of statecraft of the
period Of reconstruction which fol-
lowed that day"
Professor Lindman, of Upsala uni
versity, has made a discovery, which
will not fail to interest botanists all
over the world. He has discovered,
and that purely accidentally, herbari-
UNI of 1900 flowers, which have been
pressed by Carl Won Lime himself
They are well preserved and also pro-
Vlded with the proper descriptions.
The herbarium was once presented by
Lime to his pupal, Jonas Alstromer,
who left them to his heirs, in whose
possession they have been for many
years without them knowing their real
value. The British museum, which
has the largest Lime collections on
record, has offered to purchase the her
barlum. but it is doubtful if Professor
Lindman will allow it to go out of the
country.
A telegram from Stockholm states

president passed Sweden up it would
have been a serious breach of etiquette.

two visits to France during the past
four years. AS it is now arranged
President Fallieres will first visit
Stockholm and then Malmo. He will
then proceed to Copenhagen and
Christiania. A French naval squadron

Kristina Nilsson, the Countess Casa
de Miranda, is at present enjoying a
visit in Stockholm. She has not been
in good health for some time and has
conferred with eminent specialists here
regarding her condition. She is suf.
fering from heart disease and her ply.

avoid all excitement and spend as
much as possible Of her time at home.

wish to spend the Christmas holidays
in Sweden, but she may, owing to the
uncertainty Of her health. be compelled
to return to southern Europe, where
the mild climate may help her.
