What is your goal for this application? Are you trying to get a sampling of statuses for analysis, or for occasional casual display? If the former, you should use a sample method on the Streaming API. If the later, please persist in your quest for a reasonably unique result set. The public timeline isn't used much anymore and regressions could theoretically and regrettably, exist for a bit without anyone noticing.
