Whenever any Russians make their
appearance in Sweden they are at
once looked upon with a great deal of
suspicion. Some years ago there
were a number of Russian spies, who
went about the country districts in
the northern part of the country
dressed as laboring men and in near
ly every instance bringing portable
grindstones with them with which
they picked up an odd job here and
there. In Swedish they are called
"sagflare," because they sharpen
saws, knives, scissors, etc. 1t is a
significant fact that all the Russian
spies which have been arrested in
Sweden have all been following the
same trade. Two Russians who were
engaged in this same kind of work
were arrested the other day at BOden
and gave their names, respectively, as
Vassilij Moloddin and Powell andre
Vassinen. When they appeared be-
fore the judge they were unable to
speak Swedish and an Interpreter was
engaged. MOloddin stated that he was
tWenty-nine years old and born in
NovgOrOd and that he had resided in
Finland for six years, but he was un-
able to understand word of Finnish.
During the past few months he had
visited, together with his companion,
the cities of VardO, Hammerfest and
Tromso, Norway, and later on jour
neyed to St. Petersburg, going thence
to Sweden. Both of the men were
dressed as laborers, but their general
appearance and manners betrayed
that they did not belong to the labor
ing class. Vassinen is about twen-
ty-three years old and says that he
was born in Novgorod, Russia. They
were sent back to Jail, pending anoth-
er trial.

Hundreds of curious persons had
gathered on the scene and when the
aerial ship glided up into the air to
height Of about sixty meters, cheer
upon cheer went up from the crowd
below who stood and watched the
aviator with outstretcned necks. 1t
was the first aviation attempt in
Stockholm and it proved successful.
Queen Victoria was recently the

A great many of the teachers are
opposed to the ruling made some time
ago by the directors of the public
school teachers pension fund to the
effect that in case pensiOned teacher
re-enters the service as a substitute
his pension shall be reduced the ex
tent of his salary. DR.. Fridthiof Berg,
former minister of public instruction,
is among those who is vigorously op-
posed to such reduction, contending
that it would make it still more diff
cult than at present to obtain enough
able schoOlteachers.
Dowager Queen Sofia is gradually
giving away her entire fortune and

classes. The other day she donated
5000 crowns to the FlOda colony in
Herjedalen.
