The office of this organ is to impart to its possessor the idea of the
power of gravity, or of mechanical force and resistance. It gives great
ability to judge of momentum, and is large in the heads of all those
who excel in fencing, boxing, archery, skating, quoit playing, &c.
Predominant.--With Weight predominant, one will be remarkable for his
power in the use of this faculty. In performing gymnastic feats, in
balancing, riding a fractious horse, and in every other exercise that
requires a display of agility he will be pre-eminently conspicuous.
Large.--With Weight and Self-esteem large, one can easily adapt himself
to the laws of gravity, will never fall in precarious situations, can
go aloft at sea in the most intrepid manner, and readily perform any
operation requiring the exercise of this endowment.
Moderate.--With Weight but moderate, one will be rather deficient
in the qualities ascribed to the functions of this organ, but with
practice, may attain considerable skill and success in the arts to
which it conduces.
Small.--With Weight but small, one will easily lose his balance, even
in situations where no danger is to be apprehended. He will be enabled
to excel as a marksman or wrestler; will be enabled to learn to skate,
or to pitch quoits. With large Form, Constructiveness and Imitation,
will have a mechanical turn, but will be unable to excel as a machinist
in consequence of his inability to perform the functions ascribed to
this organ.
