    There are many Syracuse people, and those living about Dewart Lake, who will be pleased to know that Herman Hermansen, formerly superintendent and engineer for the cement company, has been signally honored by the King of Norway for having saved the lives of five persons from drowning, at the risk of his own life. The king presented Mr. Hermansen with a silver metal commemorating the event. He now lives in Tomsberg, Norway, where he operates a new cement mill.
