Sydney, N. S. W. Sept. 21. There is a man in Sydney who can do two entirely different things at once, and do them well. He is Stirling Wilkinson, known to his friends as the man with the "dual brain."

Among other accomplishmenis, he can write different words and sentences simultaneously with both hands. He can write the same wording backwards. He can also do two separate drawings at the same time.

As a bookkeeper he will be parti- cularly envied as he can makkal simultaneous entries-the figures with one hand and the items with the

other.
