Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and salt to soft peaks, then add sugar and beat again until peaks are stiff. Beat in almond flavoring. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in half of the coconut.
Sprinkle in the nutmeg and flour, stir, then fold in the remaining coconut.
Using a melon baller or other small scoop, or working with 2 spoons, form 9 "snowballs" a couple of inches apart on each of 2 cookie sheets.
Bake snowballs 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden.
Remove from oven and garnish each snowball with half a cherry and a couple of slivered almonds.
Transfer to a rack or serving plate to cool.
