Postmanden. the official organ OF
/ those who are employed in the serv-
zee OF the post office department of
| Norway. contains the following edito-
rial on the wages which they are re-
| ceiving: "Sow the situation is becom-
| ing critical for the postoffice depart
ment itself There are no more appli
cants. And the old functionaries are
fleeing In ever increasing numbers from
| a service which no longer gives them
living but only crumbs. The public
education in self-deuial and the 'morti-
| hcation Of the flesh, runs against their
nature, and so they leave. Il IS really
pity that the new public service law
Is not yet in force. This law makes
out that public service is a sort Of con
scription. and this law would make Il
possible TO keep the deserters tied
down for six months. The only thing
| that can be done now is 10 refuse per-
mission when a man desires to follow
new line of work The bottom has
been reached now. The lower posi-
tons are filed with boys who are pre-
pared for confirmation by the pastor,
and the higher ones by ladies'"
