NoRWAY,s WATER POWER

Hydro-electrica1 energy constitutes of the
most valuable resources possessed by Norwegian
dustry and trade. The value of the waterfalls of
Norway lies not alone in their numerousness but
also in their favorable location. of them lying
immediate vicinity of coast and of good
harbors. The natural wealth this water power rep
resents has been conducive than other factor
to the rapid expansion of Norwegian industries dur
ing years. 1t been said that industrial
Norway has been built up entirely on white coal
There has not existed complete survey OF
the volume of power available in this country
The directorate of watercourses has, however. pre-
pared a provisional survey of the power volume the
various water courses will be capable of yielding
when harnessed and also of the volume already
harnessed.
The following water courses have the greatest
volumes of exploitable powers:
Skein. e24,700 horse power; Drammen, 1850;
Glommen with tributaries 21,900 Gudbrandsal with

trips and test their flying skill under
these difficulties. they sometimes
take great risks
Difficulties OF keeping the mail
moving in spite OF weather conditions
are revealed in the reported expert
ence OF one aviator flying over the
states OF New Jersey and Pennsyi-

ground until reaching the Delaware
river. which / was able to see through
hole in the fog ! then dived down
to the river and attempted TO fly
down stream. This proved to be i'm
possible owing to the fact that the
fog was right on the water and there
was no ceiling to the dis
lance from the water TO the fog.
After flying for some time. this
pilot explained. he climbed through
an upper strata OF clouds. breaking
through at 1000 feet When he saw
black spot In the clouds. he dived
down again TO within IS feet Of the
Lehigh river. Thus he continued up
through the clouds TO find a clear
place and then DOWN again through a
hole. .eadcavorin2 to learn where he
was. Engine trouble developed be-
fore he was able TO locate himself
and he was obliged TO alight among
some trees on the mountain side
Another air mail pilot tells of
crashing into the mountain side near
Jasper, Nevada. during April while
flying over the western end OF the
transcontincntal route He encoun-
tered violent blizzard. the snow be-

was the maximum. He cleared one
range OF mountains. when another
mountain came suddenly into view 50
yards ahead lie promptly pulled his
guiding levers TO the limit. hoping
