Sober Clock Goes On Spree
Melbourne, Australle.
A clock, installed in the Elizabeth Street postoffice in 1880, and which had led a cober, Victorian life ever since, went on a spree and at noon the other day struck 135 times at the rate of about 23 chines a minute. However, the minute and hour hands refused to join in the general binge, dia-associated themselves from the chiming mechanism and continued to perform their duty in the accustomed sober manner.
