You get the aletiometer by by going into the questions part of the journal, and the bird droppings or all over the deck,just these white blobbs,you couldn’t miss them.
And you have to clean up the droppings before you can read the aletiometer.

I have only played some of this game as my friend has it, I would say I was very disapointed in it but that would imply I had better expectations of it before playing. First of all the animation is horrible, Iorek has extremely long APE-like legs and doesn’t even run like a bear – it’s obvious they just motion captured a person moving on all fours and didnt do the barest tweaking to make him more bear-like afterwards. Seriously whoever is responsible for the Iorek animations should be ashamed, his attacks just look wacky and unrealistic, halarious in places – ‘ninja-bear’ has become an in-joke with us. The inability to explore properly and just run along a boring, boring set path in a horribly renedered enviroment that doesnt even look like it would be fun to explore anyway (well actually that ship you couldn’t go inside was almost interesting) Some of Lyra’s snatches of dialogue seem to me like they misunderstood the source material- in the books she uses ‘darling’ if trying to comfort a hurt friend but here she uses it in a ‘oh darrrlling’ Absolutely Fabulous kind of way which is not like her at all.
I just found it basically lacking in atmosphere and FUN, I will probably play the rest at some point just to see if it gets better.
