observance the descendants of the

For curious strangers, there will
be explanation of the custom. How
for century or two before 1814.
Norway was ruled by other powers.
How Denmark, by the treaty of Kiel
on January 14. 1814, renounced the
Norwegian crown and gave It to
Sweden.
Norwegians, they will teU you,
were not consulted in the matter
so they held a meeting at Etdsvold
on May 17. 1814, where they pro
tested It was contrary to Inter
national law to dispose of an en
tire kingdom without the consent of
its people. So there was drawn a
constitution based upon those of
America, France and Spain and the
Norwegians unanimously elected the
Danish governor of Norway, Prince
Christian Frederick, their king.
The observance came to Silver-
ton with Julius Aim, dean of mer
chant here, In 1893. Aim, a fiery
American a well as patriotic Nor
wegian, has seen to It that the
American flag has floated from his
Liberty hill home each sunny day
since. On May 17 and this year
will be no exception It ha been
Joined for a day by the red, white
