PROFESSOR'S IDEA OF
It Is the Little End of Nothing,
Whittled to Point and Pith
Pushed Out
The Waller hall chapel was packed
Moiiday night by an e.;rer crowd who
had assembled to hear Professor J. T.
Matthews lecture on "The Fourth
Dimension." This subject is one that
has received the consideration of the
greatest mnthinaticians of recent years,
and allho no one can conceive of a
fourth dimension existing in a tangible
reality; yet in the realm of pore math
ematics it has an established place for
its consideration.
Prof. Matthews definition of the
fourth dimension is "Length, or dis
tance, measured on a line perpendicu
lar to three other lines, which are per
pendicular to each other."
The familiar figure for tho thrae i
mensinnal object is the cube, bnt it is
impossible to sense, or conceive the fig
ure representing the fourth dimension.
The professor gttvc an illustration
of a spherical pin cushion filled with
needles that touched the ejMiter and
extended beyond tna surface; at the
center the point could ba considered
to be perpendicular to three ofher

points but as it leaves this it enters
iuto a new realm.
Tho fonrth dimension might be used
ta explain many impossible things: e.
g. why certain chemicals have the same
compositions ad yet have different
names; perhaps dreams are of the
fourth dimension; seeing spirits of dead
pcoplo may be possible to thoso who
aro capable of understanding the
fourth dimension.
The professor, gave as an illustra
tion to show the relation of the dimen
sions the following: "Suppose a man of
dimensional capacity, now a man of the
secend dimension would be a wonder
and a mystery to him for the first
could see him only when he was in a
direct line with himself. So a man
of the third dimension could play, hide
and seek with a three dimension man,
who can only understand things in
terms of length and breadth, by mere
ly jumping off the plane, on which
tho two dinieisional man had his ex-
! istence, ho would become invisible.
So carrying this analogy farther the
fourth dimensional being is a mystery
and an impossibility to we mortals."
The professor stated that his phase
of the fourth dimension would deal
with thought, in the abstract realm
wherein the intelect "as concerned. A
certain philosopher once told of a tree
which bore fruit, no special variety,
just fruit; this is an hard for us to
conceive of as the eat that climbed
a tre and smiled and then came down
and left the smile up in the tree. We
must team to distinguish between
thotmbt and imagination. Intuition
are ao lo!or held to have the value
that onc was dHeted to them, we
are coaing mdre to base actions oa re
flective thought, since intuitions can
low fee traced back to experience.
The professor then said that a prac
tical illustration ef the fourth dimen
sidn waa that of th man who could
got out of a closed box without going
in any direction included within the
lioi. The lecture may perhaps stimu
late thought on the subject and per
haps in time it may become more tan
gible, but for the present advance of
progress it i a Highly lllusionary
tiling.

Pacific, whether lie would consider a
differential in favor of the northern
lines fair, just and reasonable.
Batters veered off, evading the ques
tion. "Would it be fair, just and reason
able," Reynolds asked, "ll some north
ern line owned the Southern Pacific's
rails from Portland to San Francisco
and declined to enter into a traffic
agreement with the Southern Pacific so
an equal round trip tourist ticket could
be sold through southern territory!"
"Oh, that might change the entire
geography," said Batters.
"What we need is a fortune teller,"
said Attorney Durbrow, of the 8. T.
"Our records were all lost in the San
Francisco fire," added Batters.

AiUIANTINE'S
CLAIM FOR SALARY
State Engineer Says His Chief

'Tree Lance"
Stating that he did not even Know

report of the work tjinttne was doing
and that he could not in good faith

full value for the time.
Cantine 's claim wtia for "rJi tnr na

.,uuu ti year. .Lewis; at tne last meet
ing, stated that he had no further work
for Cantine but the board decided tr
retain Cantine's services. The claim
was submitted to the board with a lot
of other claims but all were properly
approved except Cantine's. This raised
the question as to whether the claim can
be paid by the secretary of state if
Lewis does not put his official O. K.
on it.
The claim for Mr. lantine's salary
has not yet been presented to the
auditing department with the commis
sion's approval, but when it is, the
question of its audit will then be con
sidered, it was said todnv. The ques
tion of whether State Engineer Lewis
must approve all vouchers rom the
department, will probably be put up to
tho attorney general's office for deci
sion. Upon suggestion of Governor Withy

Deputy Cantine to consult with the

the national forest. The commission
was informed that the residents of
