says CudTleS p. Cleney IN recent
letter from Christiania to the mime
apolis Journal: "The prohibition
movement has grown in Norway until
it as enlisted the support of not less
than 10000 voters, but as a separate
political organization the teetolers
have not cut much of a figure The
one-idea parties have almost been lost
sight of this year. Norway is long
ways from prohibition, though one of
the leading countries of the world on
the temperance question. Sentiment
Is overwhelmingly for temperance, but
against prohibition as impractical
Norwegians point proudly to their
high place in the statistics of temper
ance. Based on per capita consump-
ton of pure alcohol Finland leads all
countries, with one and nine-tenths
liters a year for each person, and Nor
way comes next with two and four.
tenths liters The Norwegian record
is good, but prohibitionists deplore
the fact that it has not been reduced
in recent years. If Norway is to make
further progress, they say, it must be
by policy of total prohibition. No
further gains seem possible under

continue and that in a short time we
will see a similar movement towards
'Venstre,' that is to say, the now ex-
listing consolidated 'Venstre' will be
compelled to split into two factions,
one joining the existing parties and
the other going over to the socialists
This is the natural development in
every country. 1t must happen in this
country in spite of all opposition, in
spite of all theoretical ideas advanced
against it. It is coming and must
come. That fact is shown already by
the recent elections
American dispatches received in
Christiania lately state that Dean
Owrie of the geological faculty of the
University of Minnesota is Planning a
walking trip through Iceland in the
near future for the purpose of securing
original documents containing the
sagas of prehistoric bards, geological
and anatomical specimens as trophies
for private collections for the Mime
sofa university's museum. Norwegian
scientists are much interested in Dean
Owries venture and predict that he is
bound to find much of interest in Ice
land, but that Norway's explorers
have already traversed the field and
left but comparatively little to discov-
er along these lines.
