BY Stephen d. Engle, . matchmaker, a,
Hazleton. He IL shout forty-fve years
OF age and wa about twenty years in
perfecting the clock. Mr.. Reid paid
Engle $1,000 for it. Engle never saw
the Strasburg clock. In fact, he has
not Travelled more than 200 miles from
home 1t any time. This clock stands
IL feet high. At its base it is about 4
feet wide and II the top about 2. 1t is
about 5 feet deep Ut the base gradually
less toward the top. Its c0lors are
dark brown and gold. The Strasburq
clock is so feet high, yet its mechanism
is not 90 intricate nor has it ~ many
figures as the Hasleton clock. The
Strasburg clocks figures are about 8
feet high and the American clock about
9 inches. Three minutes before the
hour . pipe organ inside the clock PLAYS
IN anthem. 1t has five tunes. Bells
are then rung and when the hour is
struck double doors in an alcove open
and . figure Of Jesus appears. Double
doors to the left then open, and the
apostles appear slowly. one by one, in
procession. Al they appear and pass
Jesus they turn towards him, Jesus
bows, the apostle turns again and pro-
eeeds through the double doors in an
alcove on the right. A. Peter ap-
Proaches Satan looks out of 1 window
above and tempts him. Five times the
devil appears, and whom Peter passes,
denying Christ, the cock flaps it's wings
and crows. When Judas appears So
tan comes down from his window and
follows Judas out in the procession,
and then goes back mp to his place to
watch Judas, appearing on both sides.
