Those who are engaged in the catch
ing and selling of herring state that
the present situation has had no prece-
dent within the memory of man. The
rule is that each season has a peculiar
kind of herring, such as winter"
Spring. and summer" herring, and
each kind has certain peculiarities.
This year the different seasons and the
different kinds Of herring are mixing
up and passing into each other in a
most bewildering way. But those who
are engaged in this industry havs no
reason to complain, for there is plenty
of herring all the time, now in one part
of the country. now in another The
price has been about five dollars bar
rel. But there was a sudden drop when
the blockade was enforced and the re-
fusal OF the Bank of Norway to accept
the German mark at its face value also
had tendency to demoralize the
trade.

A number of mines have been picked
up from the sea along the coast of
Romsdalamt, and people are always
on the lookout for mines at sea. The
other day some men noticed a floating
mine which looked dangerous. 1t con-
sisted of round central body and four
arms projecting from its sides. AS is
customary in such cases, word was
sent to the military authorities and
captain was ordered out with a num-
Der of men to fetch the dreaded object.
They approached slowly and carefully.
but when they came close up to it and
were ready to pull it up it was found
to be, not a mine, but a drowned billy
goat, lying on his back and extending
his four feet from his bloated belly.
But the warriors pulled the goat into
the boat anyway and brought 1t to its
final resting place with a mirth that
is not common at funerals.
Nicolay Nicolaysen of Saude died at
the age of seventy-four. He was an
able carpenter and a man ready for al
most any job. In his younger days he
was noted COR his physical strength.
On a certain occasion he took barrel
of tar to a steamer in small boat. AS
the barrel vas hoisted up from the
boat the rope broke when the barrel
was Just above the head of Nicolaysen.
Instead of falling down and crushing
both Mr. Nicolaysen and his little boat,
the barrel was caught up in its fall by
him and held until he had time to put
it back into the boat carefully. From
that time the captain OF the steamer
always raised his hat to Mr.. Nicolay-
sen when they met. Mr.. Nicolaysen
held rather liberal religious views, but
three months of painful sickness i'm
mediately before his death is supposed
to have brought him back to the faith
of his ancestors.

SEWARD MANsGETS
 SECOND PATENT

A. A. Hein received word on the last mail to the effect that he had been awarded a patent, by the United States Patent Office, on an improve ment made on his first invention of a combination fire alarm and automatic fire hose. The original was invented in 1911. The apparatus consists of a hose reel and hose, which when pulled out to its entire length auto matically turns on the water and at the same time sets in action the fire alarms about the building and an alarm at the fire station. Each hose is numbered, and when the alarm is registered at the station a pointer turns to a corresponding numeral on a dial and the fire apparatus and men proceed forthwith.
 The invention has been tested in Seattle and found entirely satisfact- ory and is being used by several busi- ness houses in that city. The ap- paratus as first made in 1911 weigh ed nearly 65 pounds whereas the new and improved apparatus weighs but 20 pounds.
