The national government has grant
ed the city Of Bergen permission to
regulate the flow of water in Samnan-
ger river and build power stations for
supplying the city with light and mo-
tive power. Dams will be built at the
outlets of Sotabot and Holma lakes.
At first it was said that the water in
those lakes should be raised from
fifteen to twenty feet at the time of
nigh-water. But the final plans pro-
vide for dams which will raise the
water from so to 70 feet above the
present level. The lakes formed by
The dams will destroy much valuable
pasturage around the lakes mentioned.
The owners of the pastures have re-

actual damage.
A column of black smoke was seen
rising from the steamer Raftsund as
It approached Sannessjoen. There
could be no doubt about 1.-THE ship
was on fire. The crew made an at
Tempt to put 1t out, but they soon
found that the very best that they
could do was to save their own lives
before it was too late. The captain
turned on the available steam and
made for the nearest shore, and in
short while the ship was grounded
aear the church. The spectacle of a
burning ship soon brought great
crowd of people, some of whom began
, to make attempts to save some of the
cargo. But they could do absolutely
nothing, and so there was no choice
but to stand and take in the grand
sight. The falling of the masts into
the sea started such a shower of
sparks and cinders that those who
were close to the scene had their

For weeks past the press of Scandi-
navia has been busy describing the
manipulations of an American bucket
shop in Copenhagen. Harry Cardosa,
head of the gambling bureau, is
young man rs years Of age, who as
assistant employed his father, Louis
Cardosa, bankrupt tailor, as secre-
tary, and his two sisters and a young
er brother as clerks. The modus oper-
andi, which has been publicly unveiled
In court, was that heaps of circulars
were spread broadcast over Scandi-
navia, followed later on by chasers
and ultimately travellers, inviting the
public to operate on the American
exchange, where the gold was lying,
waiting only to be called for" Large
~ by means of the catching title un-
der which the business was run the
concern soon got number of clients
on their books. The method then
was easy as it seems now. If a GUS
toner was induced to give an order,
say for 1000 casks of lard for the
rise" another victim was quickly pro-
duced and advised to give a similar
order, but a la baisse''-for a fall in
prices. In this way the Exchange"
never personally ran any risk. The
Exchange" satisfied itself with the
commission, amounting to PA per cent
of the gross amount involved. This
commission during the existence of
the "Exchange' reached amazing fig
ares. 1t has been shown in court that
although the Exchange" on all it's
stationery had printed the names of
three telegraph codes, which it pre-
tended to use, not single telegram
had ever been sent to America. All
the "operations'' were actually trans

SCANDINAVIAN NEWS
PRINCIPAL Events Gathered IN the
Old Scandinavia, Countries

Among the curious facts brought out
at the Scandinavian fisheries exposi-
ton In Copenhagen only few can be
mentioned in this brief space. The
Norwegians catch the most fish but
make the least money; the Danes
catch the least fish and make the most
money; and the Swedes catch much
fish and make much money. At first
1t was supposed that motor boats
would scare away the fish, but this has
proved to be mistake. Have the fish
ears? Yes, an internal ear It is a
bony apparatus, and it is a curious
fact that the rings of this apparatus
tell the age of the fish. This was
clearly illustrated in the Danish divi-
sion. Many secrets from the mysteri-
Gus lives of the eel and the founder
were also brought to light. Denmark
has law protecting founders below
a certain size. But Danish fishermen
have demonstrated that founders
grow much faster in northern than in
southern waters, so that the law ought
to establish different standards of
minimum size for the two sections of
the country. Denmark is establishing
fisheries school which is to have a
very comprehensive equipment. The
whaling industry has been shifting
from the northern to the southern
hemisphere with tremendous rapidity,
and the growth of the industry has
been no less remarkable. The life-sav-
Ing equipment Of Norway has been
much improved of late. The Swedes
excelled the others in demonstrating
different diseases in the fish. The
foreign delegates boarded and slept at
the schools, and the city invited them
/ to dinner connected with a dance.
The business men of Norway are

petition Of the United Steamship Com
pany of Denmark with the Swedish

traffic between Norway and Sweden
