Bones Belonged

Saint

Stockholm, June 20.

The Professor of Archaeology at Lund University, Professor Carl Herman Hjortsjoe, has decided that some of the actual bones of the Swedish St Bridget, who died in 1373, are in the St Bridget Shrine in the Vadstena Convent in west central Sweden,

A Report of his investigations, just issued, contradicts the views of scientists who claim that the belief that some of her remains are still con- tained in the shrine which she founded in Vadstena, is false and that none of the 25 bones in it belonged to her.

After a veritable detective feat covering six cen- turies, Professor Hjortsjoe claims to have established that one skull, a left thigh bone and two shin bones in the collection are authentic relics of St Bridget.

The shrine also contains ultra violet rays, By these rays, bones representing fifteen bones which have been burled can be distinguished by their other people.
