Some time ago the extremely liberal
views of the theological professors of
the University of Norway resulted in
the establishment of an Independent
divinity school. This happened about
two years ago. Now something has
happened which indicates that the uni
versity men are going to make Ger.
tain concessions to the orthodox peo.
pie. At the reception given to this
years freshmen DR.. Oskar Jeager,
professor of political economy, made a
carefully prepared statement in which
he emphasized as general axiom
that the laws of nature are not con.
trary to the religious theory of an in
visible, supersensual world in which
a personal life is continued after
death and the dissolution of the body.

firing Norwegian minister there and

The new villa which the Norwegian
people have built for their king was
occupied by the royal couple for the
first time last month. 'Kongsaeter"
is ideally situated in the Christiania
ford and Queen Maud and the little
Prince Olaf are said to be very fond
of living there. 1t was formally pre-
sented to the king last June and the
money for it was raised by private
subscription, to which even the COM
mon sailors contributed.
The employees of the Christiania
street railways and the HOll2 2enkOllen
railway held mass meeting the other
evening and determined to go on a
strike for higher wages and shorter
hours. The raise in wages which they
demand will amount to at least 10O,'

mand. 1t is therefore likely that
general strike will be inaugurated.
