Totalling 1926 pounds for the
quartet, the State Hospital for the
criminal insane boasts the heftiest
squad of attendants of any institu-
ton in the state, and it is doubtful
II there are many institutions in the
country where four men in the same
class of work can tip the beam of
the scales at a higher figure than
those pictured above.
The four genial members Of this
team of heavyweights and their
poundage are: Joseph Cyr. 20
pounds; John Barrows. 295 pounds;
Eddie Pomerleau. 81 pounds, and
Arthur T.. Bicknell, $50. Mr.. Bick-
nell is the dean of the group. both in
years and in point of service at the
Augusta institution. Mr.. Bicknell is
the lightest member of the quartet,
and has been a member of the at

Mr.. Barrows was also at one time
patrolman, having been a member
of the Gardiner police department

Joseph Cyr. who is the next lightest
of the four attendants. weighing

with Spain. The latter three have
been at the Augusta State Hospital
for the criminal insane less than a
year.
Though none of the four plays
any musical instrument other than a
harmonica or jews harp, they have
the markings of a splendid and most
powerful quartet, and their friends
believe that if their vocal harmony
is anywhere near in proportion to
their total of 1126 pounds of avoir-
dupoois, then their rendition of a
vocal number would probably need
the full power of Sousa's band for
