posal of the authorities at Lund can
be carried through. The ordinance
provides that between the hours of 10
in the evening and 6 in the morning
students shall be prohibited from
singing on the streets Or other pub
lie places in the city or residence dis
tricts. In the case of ~serenades these
can only take place by police permits
sion. A similar ordinance is being
considered at Upsala, and it is quite
likely that the other school and uni
v~ersity cities will adopt similar re-
strictions. The students naturally
feel that this is an infringement OF
their privileges and serenades and cat
concerts have been unusually m
Gus at all times of the night lately.

Denmark Is in mourning over the
death of one of her foremost sons,
Lorentz Frohlich, the artist. He died
on the eighty-eighth anniversary OF
his birthday, the end being as peace
full as has been his life. He had I'm
ished his work.
Frohlich, like other artists, was
great traveller, and sojourned in many
lands, but he was intensely patriotic
and loved Mother Denmark as much
as any one.
He was not born in poverty, like so
many men of genius, his parents being
wealthy, and his childhood was bright
and happy, as was his entire life, no
bitterness or disappointments coming
to mar it.
It is now certain that the Bonde-
standes Sparebank, which was tangled
up in the affairs of Alberti, will be
reorganized on a solid basis, more
than enough capital having been guar
anteed by the peasants and business
for the purpose.

The beet sugar industry has been

ten and twenty tons per acre, and the
value of the crop IS estimated at
5000, 900 dollars.
The authorities who have been in

traitor he was. He left some stock,
which has beer taken charge of by
