One of the most brilliant ceremo-
nies ever witnessed in connection with
visits paid by royal personages to 9th
er lands took place July 81, at Bal
holm, Norway, on the occasion Of the
twenty-fifth visit of Emperor William
of Germany to that country, when he
formally presented and dedicated
monster statue of "Frithjof," a, Nor
wegian hero, to Norway. The statue,
the model of which was made by Pro
fessor Max Unger, a German sculptor,
was cast in bronze by Aktiengesell-
schaft Gladenbeck & Sohn, Berlin, at
the emperor's orders. 1t is over forty
feet high and is said to be one of the
largest statues of it's kind in the
world. The length of the foot of the
giant is the size of a man, and the
thumb is as long as mans arm. The
wrist is so large that man might
easily pass through it and family
could find enough room in the torso
of the statue to have luncheon. Thir-
ty thousand pounds of bronze was
used in the casting of this statue and
it was completed in eight months. 1t
was dedicated by the German emper-
or In the presence of King Haakon' OF
Norway and other royal personages.
Frithjof was a mythical Norwegian
hero of the Eighth century or9earlier.
His story is told in an Icelandic saga
of the early Fourteenth century,
which the poet Tegner took as the
groundwork of his great poem, Firth
jof's Saga first published in 1925. Ac-
cording to the ancient story Frithjof
loved Ingeborg, daughter of king Of
Norway. He was rejected as suitor
by Ingeborg's brothers and Ingeborg
married old King Hiring. Frithjof
lived at the court and on the death of
the old king married Ingeborg and
ruled the kingdom. Tegner's poem
on this theme is famous for it's lyrical
beauties. .a

hart outlined for the first time the
terms of the public utilities bill which
DE will urge the legislature to pass at

briefly, is as follows:
i Increase the present railroad COM
mission from three to five members,
make it appointiVe by the governor
for long terms and give it control of
railroads and all other public utilities.
Adopt the Wisconsin law into the

produced in enormous quantities in
certain years, while in other years
there seems to be no addition to the
stock. In 1902 and 1903, for instance,
very few, if any, herring fry were
hatched out, but in 1904 an enormous
number we're hatched. Most of the
spring herring caught during the
years 1908-1912 were hatched in 1904,
and even in 1913 about IS per cent of
those caught belonged to the stock of
1904. That is to say, they are nine
years old. 1t is known that most her
ring die before they are fifteen years
old. Now it will be seen that the rich
crop of 1904 cannot last much longer.
Moreover it is known that the produc.
tion of new fry was small during the
years 1905-1909 All of which points
to light catch of spring herring in
Norway for number of years in the
immediate future.

The Northfield (Minn.) singers have
been given a great reception wherever
they have appeared in Norway. Their
recent concert in "Vor Frelser's"
(Our Saviour's church) proved to be
q wonderful success. Christiania peo-
pie and Norwegians generally are in
terested in these young singers, who
come from a foreign land and sing
Norwegian songs. The English songs
have proven very popular, too, but
what catches the Norwegians most is
the fact that these young Norwegian
Americans have been able to retain
the Norwegian language and Norwe-
gian songs in America. Many people
in Norway have the conception that
when their people arrive in America
they will forget all the Norwegian
songs, language and customs, but the
Northfiel I'D %chorus, under the leader
ship of Mr., Christianson, is proving
this untrue. Wherever these Ameri-
can singers appear they are greeted
with enthusiastic applause and the
newspapers have all been singularly
generous in their praise of their
songs and their splendid singing.

That Norway and Sweden are draw
ing closer together and that the little
difficulty of 1905 is fast being forgot
ten is evinced by the fact that a peace
monument will be erected next year
on the border line between the coun-
tries in commemoration of the 100
years of uninterrupted peace which
has existed between the two countries.
About 10000 Swedes have already
contributed their share of the ex,
penses. The movement became more
popular in Sweden the longer the work
Of soliciting was kept on. The Nor
wegians have not raised their share
of the expenses yet, but it will not
| take long to do so, for the work is al
ready progressing in fine shape. Many
Swedish and Norwegian artists and
architects are competing for the hon
