An iron bridal couple is now recelV-
Ing due attention In the Swedish press.
The bridegroom, Peter Nilsson. for
merIy farmer in Doderhult parish,
hut now living at Oskarshamn, was
ninety-seven years old April 70, and
his wife, Kaisa Helena. nee Agren, will
be ninety years old September 3. For
20 wears the two have lived together
in happy wedlock, and they have just
celebrated their iron wedding. an
event which Is very rare occurrence
in any country
At a meeting in Upsala the arch
bishop Of Sweden explained that the
church Of Sweden by right ought to
be a laymen's church. His argument
was that the New Testament knows
no distinction between the laymen and
the clergy. They should both stand
on an equal footing in the church.
A congregation was organized at
Norrsjo. Vasterbotten, in 1911. and
of its life it will have built five church
buildings. Fire tells the whole story.
And this demon seems to come oftener
and oftener. During the years 1871
1911 the church was altered and put
in fine shape in every particular. In
1912 it was destroyed by fire. A large
building was then put up at cost or
| $50, 600 but this was burnt down even
before the interior fixtures were I'm
| tshed. Now the congregation has
asked for permission to take up col
| lections In all churches in the country
to help put up the fifth church build.

archbishop has recommended this plan

| The other day there came petition
before the Swedish rigsdag that was
very interesting and significant. The
petitioners, who are farmers in the
district of Skaraborg, Vestergotland
prayed that the government would ex
tend as rapidly as possible the cleo
trio cables from the Trollhattan sta
ton and make the energy available fo
all farmers in the district. In orde
that farmers of less means should als'
be able to have electricity for nipple
ments and other machines on the farm
the farmers asked that the rigsdai
create fund out of which loans run
ming for 20 years at from 2 to 3 pc
cent interest could be secured, tn
loans to be used to build lines to tn
separate farms and to secure motor
and machinery. The farmers justitie
their petition by reasons that prov
them to be remarkably enterprisin
and foresighted.

The Pianos Seven octaxea.

Pianos of standard size have a key
board of seven octaves and three notes
So white keys. There is a reason
for this limit. AS it is, the keys at
either end of the keyboard are rarely
used, and the tones that can now be
produced, from the lowest to The high
est, include all that have any definite
musical value to the human ear. If
the compass of the keyboard were ex-
tended the added keys would produce
sounds or noises without any musical
significance 1t is possible for the
human ear to perceive sounds over
range of about eleven octaves, but the
production of musical sounds is con-
fined to the seven and one-third
octaves.
