Mrs. Mac4rMur's Lecture.

The fourth lecture in the course on
character building by Mrs. Adella Mac
Arthur was given In Francis Willard
hall on Snow street yesterday afternoon
before a large and thoughtful audience.
The particular subject concerned the
fourth OF the seven octaves OF being or
the philosophic realm.
Mrs. Macarthur spoke In part az fol-
lows:
"ln coming into the philosophic realm

we feel az once a sort OF dread to enter
as though we were about stepping into
an icy stream.
AS with physical labor. so with intel
lectual exertion. mankind naturally

from participation in their cnnobllng
thoughts.
Assimilation of truth Is not an ap-
preparation OF the idea. IL is fermenta-
ton within the receiving mind which
throws out that which mentally or spirit
ually. it has the desire 10 retain.
What We desire In the philOsophic
realm Is tO think deeply upon the mean
ing of life; and to try, by careful self
analysis, To discover how much OF what Is
called soul we have developed In our
selves"
From this point Mrs Macarthur en-
larged upon the eight notes in the phil
osophic octave as follows:
First-Greek philolosophy.
Second-Yuga philosophy.
Third-Ph.losophy OF evolution.
FOURTH Evolution OF human impulse
Fifth--Afind. the index 20 the individual.
sixth-Character. the index 20 the soul.
Seventh-Every man his own philoso-
pher
Eighth-The philosophic positive.
After dwelling az length upon these
eight divisions OF her subject, the speaker
closed with the following expressions OF
an Ideal philosophy:
"As We pass out OF the philosophic
realm, every man aud woman having
become his or her own philosopher. let
us fear not To build grandly for ourselves
out OF the truths which make for the
best there Is in character. Let us hold
before US the Christ ideals believing that
IL Is possible for every human soul TO
attain the beatitudes where perfect love
and perfect peace abides."

Captain Charles ID. Sigsbeey chief of the

ice or nonactive fleet.

length, and it is stated that great progress

and i'll providing means to guard against
confusion where messages cross one an
other. 1t is shown that the British,
French, German, japanese, Russian, Ital-
ian, Spanish and Swedish navies have
adopted wireless telegraphy to greater
or less extent.
To give an idea of the fighting strength
OF the seven principal navies of the world
a table is submitted showing the following
