Recently the number Of tour
lists to Scandinavia has shown 4
marked increase, and this sum-
mer this should be more the
case than ever, for Norway has
caught the exposition fever and
is preparing what promises to
be a good show.
OSLO EXHIBITION
Advance reports announce
that the Oslo exhibition will
open in 1888 on May IL and
continue to September 18. This
means that there won't be elab-
crate lighting shows like those
at the Paris exposition, because
the midnight sun will be on the
job during the summer.
The exhibition is being built
on the shore of the beautiful
Frognerkilen, a bay of the Os-
lojford. Space in it has gone so
rapidly that it has been found
necessary to build special floats
on the fjord itself to accommo-
date overflow exhibits.
Many countries have leased
space for buildings or exhibits,
but the event will be mainly
Scandinavian in flavor. Every
phase of Scandinavian life will
be shown, with emphasis on the
cultural and social phases. Nor
die building days, convention,
will be held during the summer,
and architects from all over the
world will attend, since modern
architecture is at it's best in
Scandinavia. ckh o I'm has
some amazing but extremely in
teresting examples of modern
architecture.
SPLENDID SITE
The exhibition site is a splen-
did choice, for it is only about
five minutes from the quay,
where foreign ships drop
anchor, and it can be seen from
the pier.
Olso, a busy and modern cap
ital, indulges in plenty of amuse-
ments and social life, and has
the most enchanting surround
ings in which forest, mountains
and ford combine to make a
charming setting. AS there is
virtually no darkness during the
summer months. Since Old Sol
is on the job, bathing at mid.
night is an added delight.
Water sports are the most
popular recreation of Oslo dur
ing the summer, with thousands
of people streaming out to the
local bathing beaches or sailing
on the calm waters of the Oslo
ford.
Winter finds Oslo busy with
snow sports. Parties are made
up to ski in the nearby forests
of Nordmarka, forests which
next summer will provide the
city with beauty and recreation

eruelties were not sufficient, another
has been committed by executing
most Of the prisoners of war, es-
pecially the noted chiefs and leaders,

the defence Of their Emperor and

Are brave soldiers and their

Disgusting Moral Cruelty

IF Ethiopia was occupied, another
most disgusting and heart-rending
moral cruelty was indulged in in the

let those who have female relations

the enormity of this cruelty.
~. Lastly, let me draw the atten-
tion Of the humane and fair-minded
inhabitants Of the world to the most
recent atrocity and cruelty that is
being committed in illused Ethiopia.
Simply because some desperate and
grossly treated man or men had at
tempted to bomb the representative
Of the most cruel aggressor, instead
of taking the trouble to find and
punish those responsible, thousands
of innocent men and women, and
even children have been massacred
