Were there direct wires in telephone between NYC and Palm Beach in 1907?

In Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, a book about a legendary trader Jesse Livermore, it said there were direct wires between Wall Street and Palm beach. But I cannot figure out what line they were. Were they telegraph lines or telephone lines?

It is unclear if there were direct wires in telephone between New York City and Palm Beach in 1907. Telephone systems had not yet been standardized, and the technology of the time was limited. It is likely that telephone calls between the two cities would have required operators to connect the call manually.

Why are telephone wires strung with a sage in between poles?

Telephone wires are strung with a sag between poles to ensure that they can withstand environmental factors such as wind, temperature changes, and ice accumulation. This sag allows for some flexibility, preventing the wires from becoming too taut, which could lead to breakage or damage. Additionally, the sag helps maintain the proper clearance from the ground and surrounding objects, ensuring safety and functionality.
