TRANCE LASTED LONG L N|lG|i
swEoI sH WOMAN sPENTsTHiRTY.
S TWO YEARS IN BED. ..3-
Awakened In Perfect Health and With
Complete Possession of Her A u
Faculties, With No Memory
/! A Of Her Sleep. 555$s

There are many cases on record Of
people remaining In q sleep-like trance;
for several years, these frances be-.
ing often caused from injuries to the
head, but no one has had so long o
sleep as q woman named Caroline
Alison, who lives in the little leland
Of fOkuo, on the coast Of Sweden.
4 The sleeper OF Okuo was born In
{ 1861 she was q 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. q
period Of 80 years.
While in this state she did not
seem to see or hear, nor did she
show any trace OF feeling. for though
her arms were pricked with pins.
needles and other sharp instruments
she was not once observed to vince
Only once or. twice did she seem to
wake from her lethargy. On one coca
sion, in response to cry from her
mother, she moved her lips as Il to-
try and speak. When her mother
died Caroline must have been con-
sclous 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 At OF weeping. For 80
years and more her only nourishment
consisted Of two cupfuls Of milk .
day. &. S v: y ~:
After the death OF her brother she
was left to the care Of a nous keeper,,
and then gradual signs Of awakening
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. I She did not recognize her
brothers at all. for she only remem-
.bered them as tiny boys. Gradually
she regained possession Of her facul-ss
ties. until at the age Of torty-six, she
had completely recovered from her
trance, being in perfect health and
well and hearty in every way.
She only remembers her early life,2
but nothing that happened during her
long Illness. Her case has completely
mystihed the doctors. who cannot ex-
plain it in any way. $55

FER BRIGHT SMILE
HAUNTS ME Still.

IT'S years since last we met,
And we may not meet again;
! have struggled to forget,
But the struggle was in vain:
For her voice lives on the breeze.
And her spirit comes at will:
IN the midnight on the seas,
Her bright smile haunts me still
At the first sweet dawn of light
When I gaze upon the deep,
Her form still grects my sight.
While the stars their vigils keen,
When | close mine aching eyes,
Sweet dreams my senses fill:
And from sleep when l arise.
Her bright smile haunts me still
i've sailed Meath alien skies,
have sr"d the desTt path.
i have seen the storm arise,
Like giant in his wrath;
Ev'ry danger have known,
That a reckless life can fill.
Yet her presence is not flown,
Her bright smile haunts me still,
