Adolf Rosinski describes reality as a phenomenon of the mind and,
following Quäbicker, he regards “the real as belonging to that complex
which is given us in appearance. Being (_Wesen_) is not behind or beyond
appearance; Being, being that which exists, existence is appearance.
Appearance shows nothing but that which is in Being, and there is in
Being nothing which is not manifested.” (Berlin: Dr. R. Salinger.)
There are but few musicians who are able to recognise directly and
without reference to another note, the pitch of a sound. This ability
is called by musicians “absolutes Gehör.” Professor Kries investigates
in a long article, the conditions of this absolute musical ear so
called, exhibiting the difficulties of an explanation without arriving
at a definite result, which, however, may be expected from further
investigations of the subject. Mr. Matthiessen’s article on the second
Perkinje-pictures, in the ideal and the real eye, consists exclusively
of measurements and calculations of the curvature of the lens. The same
number contains an appreciative and long (37 pp.) review of Prof. W.
James’s “Principles of Psychology.” (Hamburg and Leipsic: Leopold Voss.)
