it were a piece of artillery and pushed the
pencil into it with all the force she had.
When we remonstrated smilingly--for her face and hands are
ultra-square--she said, "But I can't do anything lightly. I just
naturally put that much force into everything."
His Forceful Walk
Heavy, powerful, forceful strides distinguish the walk of this type.
If he has but ten steps to go he will start off as if beginning an
around-the-world marathon.
You Hear Him Coming
All Musculars notify people, by their walk, of their approach. They
are unconscious of this loud incisive tread, and most of them will be
surprised to read it here. But their friends will recognize it. The
chances are that they have often spoken of it amongst themselves.
The Loud Voice
The "steam-calliope voice" belongs almost always to a Muscular. He
does his talking just as he does everything else--with all his might.
It is very difficult for the Muscular to "tone down" this powerful
voice. His long-suffering friends will testify to this characteristic.
His Stentorian Tones
This loud voice is a serious social handicap to him. His only chance
of compensation for it lies in its use before juries, congregations or
large audiences.
It might be noted here that every great orator has been largely of this
type, and also that his fame came not alone from the things he said but
from the stentorian tones in which he said them.
Famous Male Singers
Caruso, John McCormack and all other famous male singers had large
thoracic systems, but in every instance it was combined with a large
muscular development.
The Solid Sitter
When a Muscular sits down he does it as he does everything--with
definiteness and force. He does not spill over as does the Alimentive
nor drape himself gracefully like the Thoracic, but planks himself as
though he meant business.
Activity His Keynote
Because he is especially built for it the Muscular is more active than
any other type. Without muscles no organism could move itself from the
spot in which it was born.
Biology teaches us that the stomach was the first thing evolved. The
original one-call organism possessed but one function--digestion. As
life progressed it became necessary to send nutriment to those parts of
the organism not touched by the stomach.
For the purpose of reaching these suburbs there was involved the
circulatory or Thoracic system, and this gave rise, as we have seen in
