His son, King Olav Kyrre raade Oslo a bishoptic and erected a cathedral, de dicated to the local saint, St, Hallvard, a kinsman of St. Olar's, whose corpse was buried under the high altar and whose martyrdom was reproduced in the city-seal of Oslo and still is to be scen in the seal of Christiania The cathe drat was very rich and had 21 minor.

THE NEW NAME

*

The half-German Kings gave privileges: to the Hanseatic League that proved in- jurious to Oslo and national trade; and the forcible introduction of the Lutheran Reformation by King Christian III, in 1537 was ruinous for Ualo and other cen- tres of worship. St. Mary's Church had been looted by the King, 1523 and burst. Now the churches and cloisters and their properties waze confisted Lunder the Crown; and in 1539 the epis copal palace in Oslo' was given to the citizens to use for a stone-pit, and the city was repeatedly destroyed by fires during the wars with Sweden.

Oslo being defortified, the Kings want ed to move the town nearer under the guns of Akershus fortress, not quite an English mile farther west. And when a great fire had rufned the greater part of Oslo in August, 1024, King Christian IV ordered the inhabitants to move to Akershus; and he planned the new town and named it after himself-Christianin But as early as in 1856 P. A. Munch, the great historian, advised that Chris- tiania should again be called, Caio 1992, when a great legal reform was car ried through in Norway, the jurisdiction of the capital was called the Oslo circuit and not Christiania. When a rew sys- tem of election was introduced in 1906 the first constituency" in the capital was called Oslo in 1918 the bishopric of Christiania was again called by the his- torical name Oslo. The city council had been discussing the name question from

ing the name.

A WELCOME CHANGE... The friction between Denmark and Norway occasioned by the Greenland dis pute gave fresh impetus to the movement for getting rid of the names that re- minded of the Oldenburg Kings and the union with Denmark, which never was popular in Norway. So when in 1923 there was a division in the name question the city council of Christiani 42 voted on each side; but even those who voted in favour of Christianin

ex- pressed their sympathy for a change but were not willing to effect it till after the tercentenary of Christiania in September, 1024.

In the meantime, a private Bill For changing the name of the capital" was introduced in the Storting, or Parliament, and was passed in the Lower House, on June 30th with 61 against 23 votes, and in the Upper House on July 4th, with 21 against 15 votes the new law coming into effect from 1925. The change has been generally accepted all over Norway, and all corporations and political parties" have been equally eager to make it effec tive at once
