CITY OF MANY WATERS
The ancient capital of Norway has its name spent in various ways. The majority of the newspapers ami published maps favour Tronclheim. A few journals use Trondheim the Norwegian spelling, which «lso appears in its post office obliterating stamp and in local tradesmen's adr vertisements. Other authorities give Trondhjcm or Drontlieim„ Founded in 99(5 on the small River Nid, the city was given the name Nidaros— the mouth of the Nid. This descriptive name Avas revided in 1929, but, apparently, is rarely used. Described as a city of many waters, Trondhjem's sheltered position provides a South of England summer.
