A Clock.

Here is q strange yet absolutely true
story, in which a clock plays a mystic
rious part: 1t was a small American
timepiece which stood on a mantel-
piece In a sitting room In a Liverpool
builders house. AT 11:30 n morning
the timepiece fell from the mantelpiece
to the door. When picked up it was
found to be quite uninjured and still
going, as II nothing unusual had hap
pened. There seemed to be absolutely
no reason why 1t should have fallen,
but an hour later when the builder
came home to his midday meal he re-
marked that at 1870 he fell from the
top Of a building. but happily without
sustaining any injury. His wife then
described how the clock had fallen at
the same time. and the couple ponder
In vain over the curious and utterly
inexplicable coincidence. - Liverpool
