II unique ships chr0nOmeter
is on GreEC
at the NaOaI ObserOatOy
BY WILLIAM HINES

TINE WORD priceless" is often misused,
but the Naval Observatory has on display
these days q literally priceless treasure the
granddaddy of all ships chronometers.
This 2OOyear-old masterpiece of crafts
manship is known the world over as Harrison
No T." A British property, il is on loan exhibit
ton in the lobby of the ObservatOry's main
building off Massachusetts avenue NV. at the
foot of ThirtyfOurth street There it is ex.
pected to remain until next January 1, cour-
tesy of the Lords Commissioner of the Admi-
rally
John Harrison, an unlettered carpenter
from England's North Country, devised this
exquisite timekeeper in 1859 in response to an
offer by the British government of 10000
pounds sterling to anyone who could come up
with a generally practicable and useful"
method of finding longitude at sea. Men and
ships had been lost over the years for want of
such method.
For so years Harrison labOred, fighting a
battle with the bureaucracy Of his day. He
finally got his prize worth something more
than million dollars in today's money! and
the world got the chronometer which is in
tended to keep more accurate time than a
watch or clock.
hdIElSOH-WuO never catlSO mas WdIcn OF
marine timekeeper" chronometer- wrought
well Refurbished generation ago by British
naval officer, Harrison No. 4 keeps time today
almost as well as most present-day shipbOard
chrOnOmeters and better than most watches
DR.. William Markowitz, director of the Observ-
aOry's time service division, estimates that the
chrOnOmeter is accurate to about 10 seconds a
month. Unheard beneath its protective glass
cover it ticks busily away, asking no more than
five turns of its winding crank each day and
every day.
With loving and respectful care, Harrison
No. could go on keeping the time for CEN
turtles
Says DR.. MarkOwitz:
Here at the Observatory we work with
time down to tenth of millionth of second.
But we can still pause to admire the skill of a
man who could build, 200 years ago, time
piece like this"

 In New York, the stock ex- changes closed as soon as word ot the shooting reached them - even before Kennedy's death was an nounced.

 Police say President Kennedy was assassinated by shot fired from a warehouse. The entire building was evacuated. A Dallas policeman says police found the remains of fried chicken and paper on the fifth floor. The police stated that the sniper apparently had been there for some time and the Secret Service later reported that the assassin had used a German Mauser rifle. They said the rifle had a scope on it.

YAKING ABOUT KAYAKING

Dick Cavaiola Of Maryland
University, Tom Adkins Of
American University and Bill
Smith.
The rs teen-age girls who
practice this Saturday togeth-
erness over a river, started
out padding war canoes in
1862, sponsored by the United
States Olympic Committee.
Now the teen-agers, in the
canoe clubs, mostly from
Westinghouse and Wake
field High Schools, are switch
ing to kayaks. To buy the
boats, they've held dances
and sold some 1000 dozen
doughnuts. "a kayak for four,
for instance, costs about
$8OO.)
Some Of the girls hope some
day to compete in the Olym-
pics in their kayaks.
Until then, the girls are
enjoying their healthful, fun
existence of keeping upright
in a kayak. Besides the to-
getherness they enjoy with
one another, "You see the
boys on the river who are
working out for crew." says
Barbara.
Which made her think Of
another advantage kayakers
have over other girls.
"It really gives you some
thing to talk about if the
conversation lags on a date. "
Barbara's got a point there.
Asking a boy to flip with
you in a kayak sure beats the
one about "Have you read
any good books lately?"
