Sweden and NORWAY.

One hundred years ago. following
the brief war between the two coun-
tries comprising the Scandinavian
peninsula. the Norwegian parliament
voted to accept the supremacy of
Sweden, and elected the king of Swe-
den for king of Norway. The Scandi.
navfan union. as finally agreed on,
made the person of. the king and his
management OF the foreign affairs of
the country the only common bond.
Each country retained its own consti-
tuition, parliament and cabinet. This
agreement continued in force for
nearly a hundred years. until 1905,
when the desire OF the Norwegian
people for complete independence led
to a peaceful dissolution OF the union
and the election of Prince Charles OF
Denmark to the Norwegian throne un.
der the title of King Haakon VII.
