CALCUTTA, November 14
Mourners, who in mourning, followed the funeral procession of a Hindu woman through Calcutta streets to the burning ghat, had a shock, when, after it was laid on the funeral pyre, the corpse suddenly sat up and asked where she was.
The bier became a stretcher, and the woman was taken back to her sick bed, to the- astonishment of the neighbours. She is recovering.
