MARINE MONSTER
Is Part Shark and Part Whale and
Puzzles Scientists.

Albany, Ore, Correspondent Portland
Oregonian.
A peculiar specimen of the whale
variety has been reported on the Ore
gon coast, near Newport. J. G. Craw-
ford Of Albany has just returned from
a trip to Newport. where he made a
picture of the head of the strange
animal. The body was washed upon
the beach during the recent storm
which swept the coast. It is about
fifteen feet long and has the body of
the whale. But its head seems to
have some of the characteristics of
both the shark and the whale; besides
some entirely new features. Resi-
dents Of the vicinity say they have
never seen anything like It on the Ore
gon coast. Nor do the books of nat
urai history record anything that ex-
actfy agrees with this strange NAM
NAL.
The mouth Of the monster resem-
bles that OF the shark, 1t being very
large. But on either side OF the mouth
are two Misunderstanding tusks sew
eral inches in length. These are at
the back of the mouth and extend UP
to q level with the top Of the upper
jaw. They are very wide and fiat,
squared on top. The mouth has no
other teeth, nor is 1t supplied with
the whalebone that usually decorates
the nav of the monster of the deep.
The head Of the stranger is equipped
with blowhole, like that OF the whale.
The eyes are very low, almost UNDER
meath the lower jaws. The tail is like
that of the whale.
The body is In a good state OF pres
ervation, the flesh having been torn
but little by the birds. The head was
Newport and taken to the latter place.
n WILL he denI1ded of flesh and nre-
