THEORETICALLY, the structure of a rotating neutron star can support a variety of oscillations which may coexist with and couple to its surface rotation. Because it seems extremely probable that the pulsar period is kept by the rotating surface of a neutron star, the excitation of such modes would give small periodic modulations in observed pulsar frequencies. Most oscillatory modes have relatively high frequencies. But one does exist, unique to a rotating sphere of neutron superfluid, which has a period of about 4 months-close to the ``wobble'' reported for the period of the Crab pulsar1. The frequency of the oscillation mode of the rotating superfluid is insensitive to unknown parameters describing the stellar interior.
