1t is proposed that three ships OF
| the American squadron visit Bergen
on it's trip to Europe. The Kristianla
| Verdens Gang makes some curious
comments on this plan. Why not WISH
! Kristiania? Such a visit would be
! token of the good feelings existing be-
! tween the two countries. Then the
paper proceeds to give the following
explanation: The competitive Strug-
gle seems to be dragging Norway into
the swirl Of international political cal
culatiOns and in case of naval war pc
tween the two powers the waters OIL
Bergen are very apt to be the scene
of the decisive clash between the two
| navies THE North American navy
says the paper, numbers among its
officers the greatest OF the naval STRAIT
| egists of our day, Admiral Mahon,
and this explains why Bergen is pre-
ferred to Kristiania. The numerous
officers of the battleships shall have
chance to make a preliminary study
| of the future theater Of war, which
Germany is blowing through with her
best ships and men,"
The Daily News of London states
that King Haakon and Queen Maud
desire that their son Olaf, the present
! crown prince of Norway, should be
educated at a college in England, but
the suggestion has already met with
vigorous protest on the part OF Nor
wegian ministers and statesmen, who
contend that the crown prince is
naturally to be educated in Norway.
They contend that it will not do to
allow a future king of Norway to be
educated in a foreign country and it
is natural that they have the people
with them in their contention. How
ever, the king and queen will decide
the matter at their next visit to Eng
land, when the little crown prince will
accompany them.
Ole Bulls second wife, the late
Madame Sara Bull, left a decidedly Pc
culiar will in Boston, where she made
her home. She, in the first place, ex-
pressed the wish that her ashes should
be sent to the native city Of her dis
tinguished husband, which is Bergen,
and where now rest his remains. Her
will has occasioned much comment in
Norway and the relatives of Ole Bull
are very much displeased over it ALL
The Bull children of the first mar
riage have entered a most decided
protest and have made an appeal to
the city authorities of Bergen to have
the wishes of the second wife ex-
pressed in her will entirely ignored.
Five Christiania students intend to
make the trip to the Normandy cele-
bration in Rouen, Frame, in an old
fashioned, but rather large roWboat,
which was used in the time of the
Vikings The boat will be known as
the Viking ship and when it arrives
at Havre, France, the students will
take in a few more passengers. Pro-
fessor Yngyar Nielsen has been taking
up a subscription list for the students
so that they can secure the necessary
equipment for the long and perhaps
hazardous journey.
During the latter part of this month
King Haakon and Queen Maud will
pay a visit to the royal court at st.
Petersburg, where they will be the
guests of the car and cZarina. The
Russian car, accompanied by the
cZarina, will pay return visit to
King Haakon and Queen Maud in
Christiania on or about June 20. The
Norwegians are not, according to re-
cent advices from Christiania, very
enthusiastic about the cars visit
In the French city of Rouen there
will, in the near future, be celebrated
the 1,O00th anniversary of the duchy
of Normandy. Scandinavians of course
have an abiding interest in historic
old Normandy, for the Scandinavian
race 1000 years ago played a signifi-
cant role in the formation of that his
toric little duchy.
