THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND.
An interesting discussion is taking place in the newspapers in the south on tho subject of somnambulism. It appears that an Invercargill man t after being deeply engrossed by. a scene at « piotiire-«bo>v, walked i" gl<jcp, fell from "the window of his hotel,, aw .was seriously injured. Students of psychology are wondering whether the stimulation of the imagination was re-sponsible-for the man walking in his sleep. Medical' men have been interviewed on the subject, but their opinions have not materially assisted in arriving at a solution of tho problem. One doctor asserts that persons might easily hypnotise themselves by watching an exciting picture-show, but he does not go so far a-s to suggest that moving pictures are responsible for somnambulism. The subject, is invested with a great deal of interest, and is deserving of the closest scrutiny.
