But This Time There Was Really Some
Excuse For 1t.
1t Is generally easy TO attract q crowd,
but the ono Joined, which gathered In
front of majestic up town Office building
Saturday, had some excuse for its curiosity.
A two ton safe, looking scarcely larger
than mans hat, dangled between earth
and sky 10 stories up. Something had
gone wrong with the pulloys, and all efforts
to swing it through the open double win
dow failed. A subdued murmur went
through tho crowd rs a man was seen to
leap from the window to the top of the
safe, which began To swing on the center
OF gravity formed by the slender rope which
held it, The man, who at that awful height
seemed no larger than bee, quickly put n
foot on either side of the rope and tried tn
steady the safe. First it was totter this
way, then IL WAS totter that, every swing
threatening To slip the safe through its
weak fastonings and dash It and Its load
to the ground. Then Ii was seen the puny
weight of the man, shifted from one foot
to the other to counteract tho swing, was
gradually balancing the thousands of
pounds Of unwieldy steel. This done, he
coolly climbed to the pulley above, adjust
ed IL and waved his hand to the cheering
crowd below, as tho great safe and it's
plucky rider swung into the office. l am
still dizzy over the thought Of that threat
ened fall, and, Of course, have the tradi-
tional crick In the back Of my neck.-New

round the corner, who might turn up

John ID. Rockefeller has just purchased

This rumor has often been afloat, and, as
Mr.. Rockefeller intends to shortly build n

grounds for the belief. Some people 20 80

STRANGE MONSTER.
It Had Nine Mouths, and Teeth All Over
It's system.

1t Had Nine Mouths, and Teeth All Over
Its System.
OF all the strange fishes or animals or
snakes Of the sea, the straDgest drifted
ashore at Tillamook, Or, few days ago.
The fish, II IL can be termed q fish, Is the
only one of its kind ever seen In the north
west and probably on the coast. 1t was
found dying on the beach, having been
washed up 10y the recelst heavy storm. The
cause of its death was not apparent from
any wounds on the body. Its death strug-
giles attracted the attention Of q man walk
Ing along the beach, and he was thunder
struck to discover tho cause OF the commo-
tion
The fish is not unlike the octopus In
goneraS appearance, although 1t tdiffers ma
terially in the long arms The body is the
exact counterpart OF an intercollegiate foot
ball, though much larger. The strangcst
part OF this strange fish is the mouth. Un-
like anything in the fish line ever heard OF,
the mouth, which takes sp nearly ono'half
Of tho body, is provided with u beak, like
that OF an eagle or hawk. This beak Is or
bone and very hard. Whom extended, tho
jaws reach about 10 inches and are pro
vided with double rows OF teeth. The
body, which Is about ls inches in length,
exclusive OF the beak, which Is inches
long, Is covered with tough skin, studded
with short, heavy horns Near the center
of the body are the eyes, two green, blaz-
ing specks The fish also has tail, some
thing like that Of the beaver. Tho tail is
provided with keel.
The fish has eight arms, each about 3
feet In length Each arm Is fitted with
tiny teeth, set In many cup shaped cavities.
Unlike tho octopus, or devilfish, the lila
nook monsters arms are not provided
with suckers The teeth doubtless answer
tho same purpose The arms project, four
on each side Of tho body. At tho end OF
each arm Is n toothcd mouth. Tho arms
can bo drawn nearly the whole length into
tho body. They arc perhaps y inches In
diamotor
When discovered, tho fish was stranded
on some rocks near tho waters edge. When
approached, IL sent forth a red fluid from
n pouch inside it's body. The water became
colorcd, ard it was impossible to discern
che monster. As tho tide rnn out the fish
seemed 10 realize the bopelessncss OF It's po-
sitlon ana drew its arms nearly out OF
sight Ii died aftor being out Of tho water
