Norway.

Prof Magnus Olsen of the Univer-
sity Of Christtania, generally regarded
as Norway's foremost authority on
runology, has pronounced the so.
called Yarmouth stone a fraud. In
his opinion the characters engraved
on the stone are not runes and he
has no Interpretation as to their
meaning His statement concerning
the stone follows:
In my opinion there is no doubt
that the inscription is not runic. The
reading which has been proposed on
the supposition that the inscription
Is runic Is entirely incomprehensible
to me. 1t does not agree with the
characters on the stone. What the
purpose was in making the inscrip-
ton is not a matter with which a
runic investigator need concern him
self"
The Yarmouth stone was discov-
cred by Doctor Fletcher at Yarmouth,
some twenty miles southwest of Hall
fax. For many years nobody was
the meaning of the inscription on the
stone. but at last an American, Henry
Phillips, Jr., announced that he had
deciphered the inscription, which, he
said, read as follows: "Harkussen
man Vara,' meaning "Harku ad-
dressed the men"
According to the theory OF Mr.. Phil
lips the Yarmouth stone had been
erected by a Morse expedition to
America about the year 1907, as a
memorial of their presence on that
foreign shore This expedition was
supposed to be that of Thortinn
Karlsefne, which consisted of two
ships and about one hundred and
forty men. They carried with them
all kinds of livestock, intending to
plant colony in Vinland (Mass)
On their way they landed on Nova
Scotia (Markland) and partially ex>
plored 1t. In celebration of the
achievement Harki addressed his fol-
lowers and this stone appears to have
been inscribed for the purpose OF
COmmemorating the event
The Yarmouth stone was exhibited
at the Christiania exposition last
year attracting much attention. and
was afterward examined by Professor
Olsen at the request of Nordmands,
forbundet who wished his opinion as
to the genuineness of the inscription
1t was Professor Olsen who also
pronounced the widely heralded Ken,

ago when its owner, Hjalmar r. Ho,

her she could have a room on condi-
ton that she agreed not to display the
German flag from her windows. To
this she gave grudging consent, but
few hours later the Dane was cited
TO appear at police headquarters.
where he was questioned as to what
he told the teacher. He frankly admit
ted that he told the teacher that he
would not tolerate the German flag at
his home, ard when he insisted that
those were his sentiments still, he be
