QUEER PERFORMANCES
OF SOMNAMBULISTS
How SubConscious Mind Does Its Strange Work
While Conscious Mind Sleeps

Strange examples of somnambuIism
that have occurred in Savannah within
the past week recall the workings Of
the sub-conscious mind and the con-
scious mind.
The pretty 15-year-o1d daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Domingo F. Pacetti who
cut off her hair and the well known
young man who walked more than a
mile to lay in the middle of the draw
bridge over Lazaretto Creek, both show
how the sub-conscious mind is in OPP
Grafton while the conscious mind is
asleep.
This is somnambulisn. and the con-
scious mind of neither the young lady
nor the young man can remember what
was done by the sub-conscious mind.
Each mind acts independently of the
other, and it is seldom that both act
together, according to psychologists.
when men act with remarkable brav-
cry both minds work at the same time,
said a physician who has given good
deal of attention to the subject, for
the unconscious mind knows not the
meaning of fear. 1t Is not to be fright

the conscious and the sub-conscious
mind were active at the same time for
any length of time they would both
soon expire-burn out as it were: one
relieves the other the sub-cOnscious
mind being dormant, while the con-
scious mind is performing its proper
functions. This sub-conscious mind is
responsible for somnambulism. Without
1t, physicians say, there would be no
such thing as walking in ones sleep.
A somnambulist must of necessity have
a particularly strong and active sub
conscious mind"
while the conscious mind is sleeping
after a days hard work. the sub-con-
scious mind becomes restless and
