SWAM IN HIS SLEEP

Some of the freaks of somnambulists j are so strange that they almost surpass belief. A talc is told of an Inshmaa who swam more than two miles down a river, got ashore, and was subsequently discovered sleeping by the roadside, unconscious of the extraordinary feat no had accomplished. A young student of Wurtcmburg used to play liide-and-seel© while fast asleep. His fellow students know of his propensity, and when he began walking threw bolsters after him, which he always eluded, jumping 'over bedsteads and other obstacle? in his way.

A girl given to sleep-talking was in the habit of imitating the violin with her lips, giving the preliminary tuning and scraping and flourishing with the utmost fidelity. It puzzled her doctor until he learned that when an infant the girl lived in a room adjoining a fiddler, who often performed upon, his instrument within her hearing.
