The San Francisco call., 1896-10-25

The average exertion of force of the
muscles of the entire body was, for the
men $3.50, for the women 2740, q very re-
markable difference.
According to DR.. Kellogg's investiga-
tions the strength of the average woman
is about 81 per cent of that of the average
man of the same height.
The paper is exceedingly interesting
and OF immense value as affordi ing a def
mite basis for calculation as to the limit
of physical exercise that is safe for girls
and young women. There is tendency
among some thinkers to attribute woman's
superior endurance to superior although
undeveloped physical strength. rather
than to the difference of quality in nerve
endowment to which it is really referable.
These thin nkers are among the class who
nowadays may be heard boasting that the
girl of to-day can walk as far, ride as rap
idly, play tennis or golf as long and swim
farther and for longer time than her
brother. She may and does attempt all
these but she should not be permitted
to do so.
1t is more than probable that more at
tention TO hygienic dress and regular ex-
ercise will greatly lessen the wide differ
ence in. strength existing between the
sexes. The average woman of to-day is
not in as full possession of her physical
powers as is the average man, but, taking
into consideration the relative differences
in height and weight of the sexes, the pro-

The Crave of a Poet.

1t is a touching coincidence that the
little English churchyard in which Will
liam Morris was laid to rest is the very
spot which, in his beautiful romance,
"News From Nowhere" he chose as the
scene of the ending of the dream-life de-
picted in that wonderful series of pictures
of the upper Thames. Dream-life and
real life have met at the end. The poet
thus describes his own place of burial ::
presently we came to little avenue of
lime trees which led US straight to the
church porch. The church was a simple
little building with one little aisle divided
from the nave by three round arches, a
chancei and rather roomy transept for
so small building, the windows mostly
of the graceful Oxfordshire fourteenth
century type. There was no modern
architectural decoration in 1T; it looked,
indeed, as if none had been attempted
since the Puritans whitewashed the
medieval saints and histories on the wall.

beautiful in it's way" Henceforth it will
have new beauty-the beauty of associa-
ton with its poet.

What the Stars Say
Of Avon's Famed Bard

Shakespeare's horoscope, which ap-
peared recently in the Modern Astrol-
ogy. monthly magazine devoted to
that exceedingly occult science, will per-
haps interest some of our readers, says
the Westminster Gazette. We append
the ''map" of the poets nativity and
brief abstract of the salient points covered
in the delineaLion.
Shakespeare was born when the celestial
sign OF the zodiac, Virgo, was in the as
cendant, hence Mercury, who rules that
sign. was the poets signlficator. at birth
Mercury was in Aries, the sign governing
the head and brain. Venus rules the third,
the house of intellect, and is placed in her
own-Taurus-in elevation over all the
planets in the midheaven. The benefic
Jupiter, who presides over hope, compass
sion and benevolence, is placed in the
cardinal sign Cancer. the sign of his ex-
altation, and he throws his influence over
Saturn in the eleventh house, which rules
friendships, hopes and desires. The sun
and moon are in conjunction in Taurus,
the exaltation of the lunar orb; Mars, the
planet of strength and energy. is in the
midheaven and the third natural sign of
the zodiac. The pars fortuna is in the as
cendant, and Uranus has a ninth house
influence in the fourth. All these testi-
monies indicate an illustrious parsonage.
AT the time William Shakespeare began
his professional career the astrological
portents were most favorable and hon.
ors and success were most clearly presigni-
fed, which were, in fact, showered upon
hm. When he reached the pinnacle of
fame as an author and dramatist in 1893
the year in which his Venus and
Adonis'' was published, an array of bene-
hc astral testimonies was present.
Later on it is found that disasters fol-
lowed evil aspects of the planets, such as

this regard, at least, we have improved
upon old methods. 1 remem ber well in

this day distinctly concious that not even
that early training was sufficient to bring
them within bounds. Plenty of girls OF
my generation did, however, profit by this
sort of training In genteel carriage, and
the result of it and kindred methods has
been a great array of narrow-chested,
thin-armed, ill-developed women, who
confess, with 70 apparent shame at the
admission, that they are mot good walk
ers." A ridiculous assertion for any able
bodied human being TO make.

free movements, clear eyes and fresh
color. She usually has graceful capable
body, with something nearly approaching
a normal waist, and feet that have not
been pinched out of shape by shoes that
are like nothing on earth or in the sea.
But when all is said and done, how does
she compare with her brother2
1t is not fair to compare her with the
degenerate type of unathletic young man,
the enfeebled result of cigarette smoking
boyhood, for this type is not on the in
crease, and it is not even among the prob
abilities that the masculine half of the
race is going to degenerate while the femi-
nine portion continues to improve. There
are good many reasons why this is not
possible despite the inclination of a certain
class of thinkers seriously to consider it.
There has recently been held in the East
the tenth annual meeting of the American
Association to Promote Phys ysical Culture,
whereat DR.. Kellogg OF Battle Creek, Mich,
read paper giving some interesting
figures regarding the relative strength of
men and women. DR.. Kellogg made tests
with the dynamometer, an instrument for
measuring force exerted by men. animals
or machines, on 200 men and 200 women
between the ages of Is and 80, all in good
physical condition.
The measurements taken were Of the
force exerted by the muscles of the neck,
back, trunk. shoulders, arms. hands, legs
and feet, and the difference in power be-

VIII Women Ever Be
As Strong as Men

the end of that time, but ere two hours
had elapsed his unwonted arms were ex-
hausted. The mother then took the child
again, and for nine consecutive hours
held the little one quietly and steadily. 1
do not think it could be maintained that
the fathers love was less than hers, but
there is certainly wonderful quality of
endurance that steels mothers muscles
ana tempers them to such feats as this.
The average girl of to-day is not only
taller than the average girl of twenty
years ago, but she is very nearly as tall as
the AVERAGE young man of to-day, while
he, statistics 60 10 show, is a good deal be-
low what was the average height of the
young men of the last generation. Scien-
fists and moralists unite in telling US that
this generation of undersized young men
is due to the excessive sm oking of cigar
cites among boys, an explanation which
is probably correct in the main. The
young man of to-day is unquestionably
not so much tee physical superior of the
young woman as his father was physically
superior to the young woman OF his geDer-
alton, but this is different proposition
from the one that the woman say of the
next generation will be mans equal IN
physical strength.
Yet this is a possibility which is Sc
riously claimed for the coming woman.
There is, on the whole, a marked i'm
provement in the health and physical de-
velopment of the present generation of lit
tie girls. They are more sensibly dressed,
they have greater freedom of motion, they
are more capable, physically, every way.
I question if any middle-aged woman OF
to-day can watch group of girls, say
about ten years old, to-day, as they walk
or run about their play or work, and re-
member the physical restraints of her
own childhood, without feeling that in
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-25

viii women ever be mans equal IN
physical strength?
A good many of the new woman's ad-
mirers contend that she will. They be-
Iieve that with a freer life, with better
opportunities for physical training and
general development, the time is not far
distant when woman's muscular strength
will equal mans.
1t really looks as though the advocates
of this theory had a good many points in
their favor. The modern girl, East as
we'll as West, is two inches taller than
what was the average two generations
ago. She Is nearly a stone heavier than
her mother was at her age, and that she
is superior in physical strength 10 the ie-
away heroines of the popular novel of a
generation since Is evidenced by her
achievements at tennis and basket ball,
golf and cycling. She can run faster,
walk further and accom- mplish more in a
given time than could her sister of even
decade ago, and, chiefest and charm
INCEST item of all, she is healthier.
But what are her chances of becoming
the physical equal OF man? Scientists tell
US that women possess more endurance,
more real nervous stamina than men; we
are told that Of ell fine, magnificently de-
veloped muscles that come under scientific
observation the finest, most magnifcently
developed are the right biceps of black
smith and the left forearm of working
mother, whose arm receives its wonderful
development in carrying her child while
going about her daily tasks. We know
that 2 mother can carry a child in her
arms farther and longer than man can
without becoming exhausted. l once
knew delicate, semi-invalid woman
to hold her sick child IN a difficult and
fatiguing position for four hours. The
childs father undertook to relieve her at

tween these picked representatives of the
sexes was very marked. The average
force exerted by the arm fexors among
the men, for instance, was 120 as COM
pared with 4S among the women; arm ex-
tensors. men 127, women So. A very sug-
gestive lesson is contained in the differ
ences existing in the power of the muscles
of inspiration, difference due in some
measure TO the ecorset-wearing habit among
women. While among the young men the
force exerted by the inspratory muscles
of chest and waist were respectively 10
and 100. among the young women it
reached only 70 and IS. The following
measurements of some of the muscles OF
Iocomotion are also interesting:

Jupiter. progressive, applying to semi
square Mars, and square the ascendant;
his father died under several adverse as
poets, chief of which was Sun, progressive,
in opposition to Uranus, radical, in the
fourth house, the house ruling or indicat-
ing his father. At SO good aspects brought
stage and lost brother under evil astral
influences; at Al his mother died under
like directions, while in March, 1910, he
gained lawsuit through favorable plan
etary causes.
The horoscope is necessarily ex post
facto. We knew all that ever will be
known about Shakespeare before any one
ever cast his horoscope. But the editor
of Modern Astrology finds remarkable
confirmatory evidence in the stars that
Shakespeare wrote his own plays.
A remarkable intuition is clearly
marked, as also his wonderful observing
power. He was truly student of man,
and, unlike Milton, he wrote from what
he knew and observed.
To the astrologer there can be no doubt
as to whowrote Shakespeare's pla VS.. and
we have no hesitation, judging from the
natal chart, in saying that Shakespeare
could be quite independent of Bacon, the
latter being more initiative, as his works,
full of quotations as they are, prove. The
above horoscope is that of genius, which
Shakespeare undoubtedly was. Great fame
after death is shown by the conjunction
of Satan and Jupiter in the cardinal
sign Cancer. The permanency of his
writings are to be found in the elevation
of Venus, ruler of the third house, in the
fixed sign Taurus in the tenth house; the
excellence of his works is indicated by the
dignity of the planets, and no better testi-
mony could be offered to verify the truth
of astrology than in Shakespeare's case.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-25

portion. even after another decade of
better development for the women, must
remain nearly the same.
1t must be admitted that nature seems
to have established this difference, and
while the sensible woman will continue
to do all in her power to accomplish the
best physical development she will do
well to remember that. as compared with
that of man, her strength is limited,
and will regulate her exercise and
her achievements accordingly.

Though Napa County is, generally speak
ing, well explored and highly cultivated,
yet there are wide areas among the
mountains which are to-day as wild as
they were before California was known.
La Jota Creek, which flows down the
slopes OF Howell Mountain through a
gigantic canyon, is for its length one of
the most beautiful streams in the State,
affording in its brief course touches of
most charming scenery which at all times
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-25

delight the eye and sometimes astonish
by their absolute grandeur. La Jota Falls
descend in two cascades a distance of $50
feet. When the waters are high they are
magnificent, but at all times they are en-
trancing in their beauty. The falls are
located about eight miles from ST. Helena
and are very inaccessible, and conse-
,quentIy are but rarely visited. California
has no scene more attractive than La Jota
Falls.

rains the view is lovely. The canyon itself
is very deep, with precipitous walls. The

distance from ST. Helena. 1t is many
years since it was erected. and over twenty
since the big undershot wheel has turned
