With twins occupying so much space in the cables recently the case of two twin sisters, Linda and Maria Lorado, is interesting. Scientists, after a series of tests, came to the conclusion that they were a perfectly-matched pair. The thoughts of one were the thoughts of the other, and they could always tell what the other was thinking about at any moment. In another case two sets of identical twins were born to a Mr and Mrs Gilmartin. When they were old enough they learned dancing. But the curious part about the instruction was the fact that it didn’t seem to be necessary for them all to be present. If one stayed away one day it was found that next time she could go through the steps of the last lesson without having been taught. This was proved more conclusively when one day one of them arrived late for the lesson. Without hesitation, and with no possible means of collusion, she went through the steps that had just been taught.
