The source was observed in various spectral states; the highest luminosity state (LX ~ 1.5×10 37ergs s?1, 10 kpc, 1-20 keV) is associated with a soft spectrum, whereas for the lower luminosity state (down to ~ 5×1036ergs s?1) the spectrum is significantly harder. Using the high time resolution data provided by the Proportional Counter Array (PCA), we have discovered High-Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (HFQPOs) in the persistent X-ray emission of 4U1915-05 while its luminosity was ~ 8× 1036ergs s?1. The QPO frequency ranges from 600 Hz up to ~ 1000 Hz, with typical Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) ~ 50 ? 100 Hz and Root Mean Squared (RMS) values~ 15%. In addition, by using the “shift and add” technique, we have detected a twin HFQPO (5.5σ level) separated from the main peak by ~ 355 Hz. 4U1915-05 is the eighth Atoll source displaying simultaneous twin HFQPOs. Based on current knowledge of HFQPO sources, our observations suggest that 4U1915-05 might contain a 2.8 (or 5.6) millisecond rotating neutron star. KEYWORDS: X-ray Binaries; Neutron Star: Individual 4U1915-05 1. INTRODUCTION HFQPOs ranging from ~ 300 to ~ 1200 Hz have now been detected from over 15 neutron star Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) (Van der Klis 1998). The origin of these HFQPOs remains unclear, bu
