The remains of the Swedish polar ex» plorers—S. A. Andree, Nik Strindberg, and Knut Fraenkel—-dramatically discovered on an island in the Arctio regions four year's ago, have now been solemnly buried in the North Cemetery of the city of Stockholm. The city reserved a beautiful spot in the cemetery, where Nature herself fashioned a rock grave, and an imposing monument by the Swedish sculptor. Tore Strindberg, a relative of the dead explorer, will be erected on the tomb. The three intrepid explorers took off from Spitzbergen in a balloon in 1897. For thirty-three years their fate remained unknown, until in. 1930 their last camp was discovered.
