Portland Pastor
Gives Interesting
Talk on PhrenOlOgy

Rev. Frederic Olsen of Portland in
a public address on the subject of
Entomology given last evening in Lii
brary hall under. the auspices of the
Business and Professional Women's
Club. declared that the true funda-
mentals of person are character and
personality.
Rev. Mr.. Olsen has spoken before
this club once before this year on the
subject of practical psychology. At
that time he made a very favorable
impression with his instructive talk,
which was so filled with humor as to
make it thoroughly enjoyable. Last
night more than 100 people gathered
at Library hall to hear Mr.. Olsen lee
ture on Phrcnology. Miss kalloch in
troduced the speaker. and hardly min
ute had passed before Mr.. Olsen had
his audience laughing.
At the beginning of his lecture Mr..
Olsen declared that it was requisite
that men should know men. He said
thu this in the future would be para
mount importance.
THE true fundamentals OF a person
and chara cter and personality" went on
the speaker. "In this talk tonight
cannot but touch on the great edge of
this great field of phrenology. 1t is
like Trying 10 put inc AnueS INTO Il ilIlat
box, or the Pacific ocean into tea
cup. Phrenology involves so much that
you can only hope to get the barest out
lines"
Mr.. Olsen said that the trouble in
the past, and even al the present time,
was that many people were misfitted to
the work they were doing. AS an IL
lustration he said that teachers were
sweeping the streets and street sweep
ers trying to teach. In defining phre-
nology II, said that it had reference in
shape. size. quality and balance of the
head lie also said that character
could be interpreted along six other
lines among which he mentioned palm
istry and pathonimy.
Rev. Mr.. Olsen went on to say that
individuality is SC diverse that to grasp
hold is infnitoly- impossible. He de-
clared that, a sound personality is a
fearless production of all time. and
that human society is the master mir
acln of the universe
He be ,ged the audience not to expect
too much of phrenoogy.
