PHILOSOPHICAL LECTURE
Students Hear an Instructive Lee
ture on the Fourth
Dimension.

Preliminary to taking up a winter
study in the advanced teachings of
theosophy, the local Theosophical So
ciety concerned itself with studies con-
corning the mystical fourth dimensions
of matter at its regular Monday night
meeting held in the society rooms in
the Commercial club building last night
William Rice, vice president of tn
society, performed the office of instruc-
tor, lecturing from, a series of charts
and mathematical drawings. Told in
brief, the four dimension idea is related
to the higher assertions and beliefs Of
theOsophy in this sense: All physical
matter, including humanity, is three di-
mensiOned, so far as the human brain
can conceive. The only way in which
the fourth dimension can be compre-
hended is by getting away from tbs
viewpoint of a three-dimensional crea-
ture. A similar process of mind is neces-
sary for comprehension of the fourth
fifth, sixth or seventh planes, as they
are styled, of sO-called astral thought
as taught by theosophy. Hence. the an
plication of the fourth dimension idea.
Membership in the society is increas-
ing continually, and last nights class
was large one, filling the reading room
to overlooking.

Logan, Nov. 15.-The Commercial Boost

consider the proposition of building a new
hotel for the city, and the outcome of the
meeting was encouraging. For some years

be a meeting at which each subscriber
shall have one vote only as to the place
