that some OF the craggy peaks TO be
seen seem TO lie close by, when the
fact of the matter is that they are
fifty to seyenty-fiye miles away The
trains carried the crowds from the
station TO the nearest point on the
line, about two miles distant from

in such large numbers in Copenhagen
some years ago have returned and are
causing any amount of trouble again.
The authorities are preparing for an
other rat war and are going tn set the
police force and others busy to once
more clear the city of the obnox-

present in large numbers around
"Kongen's Nytorv," where they are
