TRANCE LASTED LONG.
swEDleA W OMAN SPENT THIRTY.
TWO YEARS IN BED.
Awakened in Perfect Health and With
Complete Possession os Her
Faculties, With No Memory
Of Her sleep.

There are many cases On record Of
people remaining in sleep-like trance
for several years. these frances be-
ing often caused from injuries to the
head, but no one has had 80 long a
sleep as a woman named Caroline
Alison, who lives in the little island
of okuo, off the coast OF Sweden,
The sleeper of Okuo was born in
1861; she was a perfectly normal
child, and for the first IA years OF
her life she was strong and healthy.
She did not go to work till just be-
fore her fourteenth birthday One
day she came home complaining OF
toothache and went to bed Soon at
terward she fell into deep trance,
which LASTED from 1875 until 1907, 6
period of so years.
While in this state she did not
seem to see or hear, nor did she
show any trace of feeling, for though

she was not once observed to vince.
Only once or twice did she seem to
wake from her lethargy. On one occa-
sion, in response to a cry from her
mother, she moved her lips as II to
try and speak. When her mother
died Caroline must have been con-
scious of the fact, for she burst into
tears, though there was no other
change in her condition. Two years
later, when her brother was drowned,
she also had a fit of waning For 20
years and more her only nourishment
consisted OF two cupfuls of milk q
day.
After the death of her brother she
was left to the care of housekeeper,
and then gradual signs of awakening
intelligence began to dawn. Once she
was left alone for several hours with
food near her, and the food was seen
to have gradually disappeared. There
was no doubt that her trance had been
broken. A few months later she re
gained consciousness, asking for her
mother. She did not recognize her
brothers at all, for she only remem-
bered them as tiny boys Gradually
she regained possession of her facul-
ties, until at the age of forty-six, she
had completely recovered from her

presents to the exclusion of the 9th

great attention to mysticism and has
more poor, dirty and ignorant people
than any other part of the world
When the plague breaks out in the
east, as a result of foolish pilgrimages
to Mecca or Benares, the pilgrims say
the plague is part of the mysticism
of the east, and continue to drink
holy and dirty water. But the men
OF the west have a better doctrine.
Its chief tenet is. "Clean Ur," and ~

Now, by some carelessness on the
part of the jailer. this person was
detained In the lookup for the full ten
days. Naturally the man filed a claim
for redress.
When this was presented to the

that the man should have some al

this. But after due reflection he
made the following suggestion:
