Came On Exhibition at Newport Fisher men Caught it in the Ocean Its Teeth and Tushes. Those who went on the excur sion to Newport Sunday returned eloquent in description of a sight they had of a sea serpent that was caught on Friday m the ocean off Newport, and which was on exhi bition by a local butcher at 10 cents a look. Though small, the mon ster, according to all accounts, made up in appearance for all it lacked in dimension. It was . five feet four inches in length. Its body was only about a foot long, and its head, less. All the remain der was tail, and such a tail! All along its entire length it had queer appearing fins, evidently used in locomotion. The same excresences appearea also on the body. It is the head, however, that is the stunning part of this unusual and unsightly ocean reptile. Though it looked like nothing any body ever saw, the head mostly re sembles that of a dog. There a-e two big eyes as large nearly, as those of a human being. Their stare is described as enough to raise the hair on a bald bead. There is a nose somewhat like, a dog's nose, and a mouth with rows of bij, sharp teeth. Near the front of the mouth. there are huge tushes. The sublime effect of all this com bination is, that a weak nerved man, should .he- be in the act of pulling the thing out of the water with bis book and line, would after one hurried, startled, paralyzing glance, be iikely to let loose all holds and jump overboard. That, at least, is what a Corvallis man said who had paid ten cents for a look at the thing. The serpent was caught by a member of a patry out deep sea fishing Friday. Jt is on exhibition at a local butcher shop in Newport at 10 cents a sight, and many peo ple are paying the fee to see the thing. One returning passenger said that the butcher, when he was there, had deserted his knives and block altogether, to run his sea serpent side show. Sea bathing may be a pleasurable diversion, and doubtless is. un.il there comes the thought of a reptile like this one, disporting itself between a gentle man s legs, and then ugh. v Philomath Items.
