CLOCK THAT WILL RUN FOUR YEARS
An Ingenious Piece of Automatic Mechan-
ism Shown in Town by Nash Mitchell.

ism Shown in Town by Nash Mitchell,
The invention all admire; and each
/ is surprised how he to be the inventor
missed, so simple it seems. once found
I.ffrT he foregoing sentence with apollo
EgieS To Milton.) We have reference to
a clever bit of fine machinery received
t last week by eX-RegiSter of Deeds
Nash Mitchell and displayed by him
in the drug store of John e. DAILY,
now exhibited in the grocery depart
ment Of the Johnson. Hill & Co
stores. 1t is timepiece intended
particularly for office use, manufac-
tured by the Automatic Electric Clock
company of Chicago, and the inven-
ton Of Fred l. Getty, an old friend of
Mr.. Mitchell who visited here last
! summer.
This clock is in part constructed on
principles similar to many of the best
regulators in the country and in part
it is different. Like all good regula-
tors it is gravity clock, getting its
mechanical power Or motive force
from weights. But unlike them it
has no main spring and requires no
winding. Were you to start a loaded
sled down an eternally iced incline; if
at the foot of the hill was an electrical
I device to throw the loaded sled back
to the top instantly, landing it right
! side up with care in the regular track:
| then that load would continue going
the rounds as long as the electricity
lasted. Gravity would be the.~:real
motive power, electricity the primary
power. Crudely, such is the idea in
} cOrpOrated into the Getty automatic
| clock
The machinery of this clock is made
as deliCately as a watch and in accord
anCe with the highest laws of me-
chanicS. Two ordinary LIE Clanche
batteries furnish the primary power
| They are at rest most Ofrthe time eX-
cepting one-Seventh of a second eight
times an hour, when their energy lifts
two little weights Of One-half ounce
each. Experts state that the bat
terieS will do this work four years
without renewal. Hence the clock
will run that length Of time without
attention for the batteries take the
place Of main spring and the human
hand to wind it. This automatic
feature was the master hit Of the in
yentiOn. 1t is the solved problem
that is new and makes the clock {
wonder. Tested for seven months a,
to accurate time keeping with the
finest regulators in Chicago it has
OutStripped them all.
Mr.. Mitchell will depart for Boston
and the east in few days. He vii
take the clock with him to introduce
it for his friend. He has the refusa
of territory fOr'itS sale in Wisconsin
and Minnesota, or can select New
England states. He has as yet mad,
no decision but eighteen years of eX
perience in the art Of watch and cIocl
making will certainly make Mr.
Mitchell an able, effective representa-
tive for the Chicago concern if b
concludes to engage his hustling pro
cliyitieS with them.

Amigo Republican: One cannot
fail but see that the law requiring
candidates for Office to file sworn state
mentS of expenses is a breeder Of de-
ceptiOn. Not one statement, nOtWith-
standing the oath attached, in one
hundred is d truthful statement of
the atlantis election expenses: The
average office seeker is a liar on gen
eral principles. The greater the liar
the greater his political success. Why
encourage him in his WickednesS by
having such nOnSenSical law? Wipe
it from the statutes and give the liars
a chance to reform.
