[[2]] This article is from Google Books. Originally published in August 1933 in Popular Science, the article talks about how much time the brothers spent perfecting their act and the mathematical accuracy that needed to be calculated. Popular Science is a magazine that is accepted all around the world as a source for current technology and science information. It has won many awards and because it is a source on science and technology, all of the news articles should be unbiased.

[[3]] This is an article from Life Magazine, April 26, 1948. It includes a lot of pictures as well as information about the stunts that were performed by the Brothers. There was information about family life and how much was earned by the performers.

This publication is a news sources and therefore shouldn't exhibit bias.

[[4]] This excerpt includes a little bit of new information about what the brothers did after their careers as human cannonballs. It also talks about how the acts has been passed down through the generations. The article comes from The Billboard which is an American Music Magazine. It is an entertainment news source. While it may include some opinion pieces, the articles that I selected is from a news story.
"Versatile Zacchini Brothers Scattered Among Many Shows." The Billboard 17 Feb. 1945: 58. Google Books. Web. 14 Oct. 2015.

My last source is from a book titled "Circus! From Rome to Ringling". It includes a short paragraph about what the Zacchini's did, their family tree and what it meant to be a Zacchini. This seems to be a reputable source because it also includes information about other circus performers that is back up with other historical information.
