The visit of the Stockholm gym
nasts to America will revive interest
in Swedish gymnastics in the United
States. The troupe, which is under
the leadership of Captain Silfvers-
pare, has been well received in New
York, Chicago, st. Paul and Mime
apolis and the press of those cities
has been profuse in praise of the ex-
hibitions given by the members, who
have won many Olympic prizes. In
the United States Ling's gymnastics
are widely used, the special starting
point having been the Normal School
of Gymnastics founded in Boston by
Mrs. Mary M. Hemenway, and which
is still maintained on funds provided
by her. About thirty teachers of both
sexes annually pass an examination
at this school after taking a two
years course. A number of Swedish
teachers also come to the United
States every year.

the speakers thought the difficulty
might be overcome by establishing
schools for that purpose at different
places. Others suggested that the
course at the university be shortened.
Others still, among them Archbishop
Ekman, thought the Fjellstedt semi
nary, which has already done so much
i'll this respect, ought to be enlarged
and better supported

Mr.. E. Ljungberg of Australia, re-
cipient of one of the Swedish govern
ment stipends, is at present visiting
Sweden with view of establishing
closer connection between Australian
business houses and Swedish export
ers. He is especially interested in the
Swedish paper export and will visit
each of the Swedish paper mills. If
Mr. Ljungberg finds the Swedish ex-
porters enthusiastic and if his plans
meet with their approval it is very
likely that Swedish board of trade
will be established in Australia in a
short time.

the Stockholm papers from New York
Henning Bergers play, "The Deluge,"

except in the case of Strindberg, that
a play by Swedish author has been
given in the United States.
