Lars, I found this doing a Google search for Skandinaven. Chronicling America lists the libraries that have copies. Maybe someone on the list lives near one of them. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045493/holdings/ There was also this reply to a query asking about Skandinaven. Apparently the Norwegian national Library has it on microfilm.

Dear Annette and other Listers! Thank you very much, Annette, for sending me the reference to the Norwegian National Library. I cannot access their online records from Germany where I am living, but I have asked for help in Norway! By the way, Nils must have died in the State of Indiana(?), but I see no such person in the Indiana Death Indexes available online (ancestry.com and FamilySearch). Maybe those indexes are not complete? Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter so far! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
