Unique Clock Tells All
An extraordinary clock given by
Queen Liliuokalani to a church in
1890 recalled days when Hawaii
was a monarchy rather than an in
tegral part of the United States.
Liliuokalani was the last royal ruler
of the islands. The royal gift is a
round wall clock, 32 inches in diam
eter, says a Pan-Pacific Press Bu
reau. Figures around the outside
of the 24-inch dial are numbered 1
to 31 telling the day of the month.
An eight-inch dial above the center
tells the hours and minutes, but
instead of the numerals the 12 let
ters in the queen's name record the
hours. Another dial gives the
phases of the moon. A still smaller
dial indicates years and leap years.
The complete device is operated by
a single spring.
