  The Suzaku data of the highly variable magnetar 1E 1547.0$-$5408, obtained
during the 2009 January activity, were reanalyzed. The 2.07 s pulsation of the
15--40 keV emission detected with the HXD was found to be phase modulated, with
a period of $36.0^{+4.5}_{-2.5}$ ks and an amplitude of $0.52 \pm 0.14$ s. The
modulation waveform is suggested to be more square-wave like rather than
sinusoidal. While the effect was confirmed with the 10--14 keV XIS data, the
modulation amplitude decreased towards lower energies, becoming consistent with
0 below 4 keV. After the case of 4U 0142+61, this makes the 2nd example of this
kind of behavior detected from magnetars. The effect can be interpreted as a
manifestation of free precession of this magnetar, which is suggested to be
oblately deformed under the presence of strong toroidal field of $\sim 10^{16}$
G.
