"There have been cases, we believe, in which the height of a
person has increased after the person had reached mature age, but
it has always been suspected that this was due to greater
uprightness. A man who stoops always looks shorter than when he
is standing quite upright. But no such explanation as this can be
given for an apparent increase of the human head. If a head
really requires a larger hat it must be because the head is
larger."--_Provincial Paper_.
