Hawkins, who has earned the tltlt of Father of the Portland Free Museum, worked hard all yesterday afternoon In getting the latest addition to the museum In position. This Is a huge ball of sand stone, loaned by Mr. George Hill, of As toria, and weighs GOO pounds. Colonel Hawkins laid a plank walk on the marble floor of the City Hall and then rolled the stone to Its future home by means of a lever. The acquisition now keeps company with the skull of Jawbone of a whale, near the foot of the stairs on the ground floor, where a neat fur-leggcd table, with a hole in the. middle makes It look like a black schoolglobe. While the Colonel wat puffing and blowing in his efforts to put the thing In place, a good many guesses were made by bystanders as to what the curiosity really Is. One said It must bo a meteor, another a cannon ball, a third a petrified squash, a fourth the devil's taw, and a firth said chestnut, which the Colonel considers the best guess of alL A whale's egg and a whale's eye were amongst the guesses. From a scientist's standpoint, however, the Colonel pro nounces It a clay nodule, though he does not explain what a clay nodule Is. Both Hands Broken. J. W. Burchard, who recently fell from the top of the new dock being constructed at Pennoyers mill, discovered yesterday, with the aid of a surgeon, that both hands had been frac tured by tho fall. Instead of one. He has temporarily lost the use of both hands, which are done up In slings, and he has to be fed by his wife. He blames the fore man on the pile-driver for not exercising more caro in the handling of the heavy timbers known as "cape"," one of which struck him as he was stooping over. Receiver's Report.
