The Fram, a famous ship in polar exploration since she was built in 1892, calls up memories of Nansen, Sverdrup and Amundsen. She was designed to withstand any pressure of ice floes to which |she might be exposed, and it is to be preserved for permanent exhibition if a fund for the purpose can be raised. A committee headed by Viscount Cecil will ask for subscriptions. The amount needed {1s £4,000. Norway cannot provide all of it. The Fram (“Forward”) had a severe test on (her first expedition. At a dinner in this city last Winter Dr. Nansen told again the thrilling story of leaving the ship in charge of Captain Sverdrup, and, with Lieutenant Johannesen, traveling for many days over the ice, meeting with ¥ A STAND PAT STATE.
