The Syndicatists of Scandinavia
held a convention in Copenhagen. It
was decided that a press bureau is to
be opened in Goteborg. Gustaf Sjos-

A cable from Bergen states that
Kaiser Wilhelm is no longer popular
In Norway. He has been visiting there
annually for twenty-four years and
there are several reasons why he is
classed among the "undesirables." In
the first place, his imperial yacht and
the escorting squadron of warships
have got so familiar that they go polk
ing about everywhere even in forbid
den hooks, much to the annoyance
Of everybody. The fishermen are es-
pecially vexed. 1t is surmised that this
accommodating is connected with the
kaiser's desire to find suitable place
for a German coaling station within
easy access of the North sea. The
Kaiser has informed the Bergen coun-
Gil that he wants to make the town a
gift of two statues representing two
Norwegian legendary heroes, Frithjof
and King Belle, carved by German
sculptor. Models of these statues
were brought to Bergen and the Kais-
er personally superintended their tenn
porary setting up, An army of Of
fcers and sailors from the squadron
came ashore and hundreds of Ameri-
can, English and German tourists
looked on. The Kaiser was highly
pleased but the natives grumbled loud
ly that the statues are ugly. A we'll

The German Warship maneuvers In
Danish waters are arousing much crit.
1cism because of the great harm to the
fisheries, the frequent visits to the
.Yemern belt by the German vessels
endangering the lives of fishermen. AL
though they carry regulation lights,
the German warships are referred t.
as reckless concerning fishing inter
ests. Leading newspapers refer to the
frequent visits as inconvenient and
harmful because they are too near thu
best fishing places.

German Empire.

Kaiser Wilhelm had a wreath placed
On the coffin of William Booth.
A harbor costing hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars is to be constructed at
Aschaffenburg.
Jonathan Winfield is responsible for
the following story, which was sent
out broadcast from Washington:
Germany is openly preparing to
annex St. Thomas, the largest and best
Of the Danish West Indies. With the
death of King, Christian XII Of Den
mark came the ideal opportunity for
the father land to stretch forth greedy
hand and from the bullying Golfers of
the Hohenzollerns to buy from the
Danes an island which the latter do
huot want and which has been a con-
Siderable expense to them.
The Greater Berlin Street Railway
company has evidently discovered that
It is possible to be too courteous in
some respects. Until very recently
the following placard was hung in each
car: In the interests of fellow-trav-
elers ladies are begged not to fasten
their hats with long, projecting hat
pins.'' This poster is now pasted over
with the following notice: ITO prevent
injury to fellow-travelers ladies will
protect the points of their long, pro-
jecting hatpins." The language now
used is direct, and there is no
begged" about it.
Remarkable evidence of the ad-
vanced state of aviation is furnished
by the news that an aeroplane has
been stolen. When the aviator, Herr
Belat, arrived at his shed on the aero
drome of Puchhem, near Munchen,
to take q fight on his monoplane he
found to his dismay that the machine
had literally flown. It was impossible
that the aeroplane should have been
removed from the grounds in any 9TH
ed way than by air, and the thief must
have been a skilled pilot. Persons re-
siding in the neighborhood Of the aero
drome state that they heard the buzz
Ing sound of an aeroplane about

company, subsidized by the German
government, has built vast piers,

great success last spring. The full
capacity of it was 200 eggs and from
two hatchings he got 1874 chicks, which

A new school house for primary
work was needed at Same, and a lady
teacher went to work and had school
house built at her own expense. Our
authority did not take the trouble to
mention the name of this good woman.
The permanent secretary of the
Swedish academy has been too power
full in that institution, enabling him to
put his personal stamp on the work
done. Now it is proposed to reduce
the term Of Office of the secretary to
few years, or even only one year.
King George of England was made
to pose as the king of Sweden for
few hours this summer. A gentleman
who mailed letter in Norrkoping put
an English one-penny stamp on it. This
shows picture of King George. But
It looks so much like the Swedish ten
ore stamp that no one noticed the
difference at the postoffice, and the
date was stamped on it. At Stockholm
the place Of destination, the mistake
was again overlooked, and the letter
was stamped. 1t is stated that this
stamp now has very great CONNER
cial value as a unique postage stamp.
Miss Kerstin Strandberg, who keeps
1 hoel in Hernosand, has publicly of.
fered to donate 1910 towards building
naval station at Hernosand. In her
offer, which appears in the conserva-
! tive press, she argues at some length
| that such a station is of imperative
necessity. She also makes a dig for
the manner in which many Swedes
squander their money while they main
tain that Sweden is too poor to spend
any more money than she does on her
defences. Part of Miss Strandberg's
reflections stand a literal translation:
Suppose that we, for a change, let
the Chinese tend to their own mission
ary work-for Jao and Confusianism
may be as wholesome for them as
| Christ and Christianity for us-and
also let the French, the Germans, and
the English, who have divided up
Africa among themselves, preach the
gospel to the negroes, while we, on
the other hand, 60 to work with our
own heather and keep our millions at
home, and also keep the millions that
are spent on foreign lotteries. Now
that we can afford to throw so much
money out of the country it will not
do to claim that the Swedish people
are too poor to build naval station
on the coast of Norrland"
The rush Of foreigners to the Olym-
